Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
BEANTOWN MIKI (6) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Set the tempo to win by 3.25m last run at this venue. Likely to be well placed early. Rates well in this race. LUCA BAY (4) Lost ground in the run home when 6th last run around here. Should improve. Been in the money frequently this preparation. Strong claims. AMERICANA JOE D (1) Close to claiming the win last time at this track and having second race start. Should come to hand quickly. Gets a favourable alley. Not out of this. CD FLETCH (5) Narrowly denied a win last time at this venue. May see an upturn in form. Has plenty of early speed. In good form since returning from a break. Solid place bet prospects.

Was agonizingly close last time at the track and having second career run. Will be positive in the run early. Has drawn to do little work. Looks a nice proposition.

Was agonizingly close last start at this track and showing improvement in recent outings. Bruce Ranger and Nathan Kirker are usually a competitive duo. Others preferred.

Odds of $2.38 and didn't find the line when 6th last run at the track. Should improve. Showing positive results since resuming from a break. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Jumped at $11.00 and missed by a narrow margin last time at this venue. May see an upturn in form. Has shown early pace in races to date. Looks like solid value.

Back after break. Led and controlled the pace to win by 3.25m last run at this venue. Should be going forward early. Has to be in the finish.
