Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609m

Stake: $25,678

CHASE NEWS NETWORK (2) gave her opponents no chance last start when she cruised to a 12 metres victory over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Tackles a similar assignment and she can go right on with the job. ATREIDES (3) was without a win before finding his best last start to score by 2.25 metres over 1609m at this track a week ago. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. FLINT MCCULLOUGH (1) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. SILVER SANDS (4) was beaten 6 metres on debut last start over 1609m at this track. Has plenty of scope for improvement.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Chase News Network at this track over 1609m in a ROMPER RM on August 18 at $11.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Atreides at this track over 1609m in a ROMPER RM on August 25 at $35.10. Plenty to like about his prospects.
