Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
BEANTOWN BIG AL (5) Narrowly denied a win last start at this track. Should improve and good career start. Will be positive in the run early. Rates strongly. STING ME (1) Narrowly denied a win last start around here and drawn the rails. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Goes very close. SILVER SANDS (4) Threw down a serious challenge last time at this track. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Will be trying to topple them late. Likely threat. FLINT MCCULLOUGH (2) Missed by a narrow margin last time at the track. Include in chances.

Started at $43.00 and finished 7th last time around here. Gets back and needs luck. Looks too tough.

Narrowly beaten last time at this venue. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Will be hitting the line strongly. Will be around the mark at good odds.

At $14.00 just missed last start here. Should improve and promising career start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Showing great form this preparation. Definite claims for punters.

Didn't attack the line when 5th last start at this track but having second career run. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.
