Plainridge Racecourse Race 3

1609m

Stake: $28,450

SEAFOOD NEIGHNEIGH (3) won at this track two runs ago before finishing fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Big chance if anywhere near his best. ODDS ON LAUDERDALE (4) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 16 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar line up and he can make amends. WHATA FOOLBELIEVES (1) comes right into contention after scoring last start by a neck at this track over 1609m. BAG PIPE MAJOR (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on October 27.

Going well. Last start won by a neck (Fr1) at this track (1:52.20) beating Gracies Tough Guy in TRK<80 on October 22 at $3.70. One of the better hopes.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 4 m by Forward Look (1:51.10) in NW6000CD on October 26 at $24.20. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 6 m (Fr1) at this track (1:52.10) beating Major Betts in TRK<79 on October 19 at $6.30. Has the ability to play a major role.
