Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609m

Stake: $16,097

DRAGON THE LINE (6) produced a better effort last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Leading hope in this comparable race. SHIP SHIP HOORAY (5) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 11 metres from the winner. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. BEACH WATCH (3) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. MCCUSKER (7) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Rollwithhottytoddy at this track over 1609m on September 7 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Get Along at this track over 1609m on September 14 at $2.70. Capable of taking this out.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 m by Get Along (1:54.20) on September 14 at $69.90. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth behind Cbf Squirt Gun at this track over 1609m on September 7 at $8.10. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Finnbar at this track over 1609m on August 31 at $12.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Cbf Squirt Gun at this track over 1609m on September 7 at $3.60. Has the ability to play a major role.
