Plainridge Racecourse Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609m

CALCULATED RISK (2) added to the impressive sequence of wins last start when he scored by 4 metres over 1609m at Monticello Raceway. Has the benefit of a good draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. ALWAYS B GINGER (1) ran well winning last start at this track over 1609m by 3 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect her to be prominent. WHISKEY VENOM (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this track over 1609m. MANASOTA (6) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Caviart Madrid (1:54.00) in NW2PMLT on October 23 at $15.80. Before that 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 24 m by Seafood Cc (1:54.10) in NW1PMLT on October 15 at $38.30. Might find this lot a bit smart.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Lyons Blewbyu at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMLT on October 12 at $13.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Caviart Madrid at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMLT on October 23 at $5.20. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
