Plainridge Racecourse Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m
FLIRTIN JK (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. CONCEALED (8) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can find winning ways. CHECKERS LEGACY (4) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at this track over 1609m. BEACH WATCH (7) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Leave It To Luther at this track over 1609m on October 20 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Twin B Jays at this track over 1609m on October 26 at $2.10. Capable of a strong showing.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 m by Twin B Jays (1:54.00) on October 26 at $12.50. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 9 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:54.00) beating Sweet Nan in TRK<70 CL on October 5 at $2. Worth consideration.
