Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609m

Stake: $26,671

MEADOWBROOK FLASH (5) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Leading hope based on recent form. GRACIES TOUGH GUY (6) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at this track the run before. Good enough to take out a race like this. ALVIN BRICKROCK (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m. ROLLWITHHOTTYTODDY (4) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Captain Tell (1:52.30) on October 27 at $13.40. At the previous start 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 m by Seafood Neighneigh (1:52.10) on October 19 at $23.90. Good enough to turn things around.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Just Givener at this track over 1609m in a W3-6PMLT on October 16 at $32.80. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Whata Foolbelieves at this track over 1609m on October 22 at $12.10. Should be right in the finish.
