Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
LUSAKA N (4) Dictated terms in front to win by a head last start at the track. Driver Nicholas Graffam and trainer Enrico Robinson link up well. Displays good tactical speed. Solid claims. SOUTHPAW (1) Charged home to win last time at the track and will appreciate a good draw. Jimmy Whittemore has been successful aboard previously and on an upward trajectory in recent races. One of the better chances. MASSIVE SPEED (3) Close up last start here but have to respect the form at this trip. Kevin Switzer Jr booked to drive here. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. HUNTING ZONE (2) Narrowly denied a win last start at this track. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Bruce Ranger has a high strike rate on board. Should get going late. Solid place bet prospects.

Romped home to win last time here and has minimal work to do from the alley. Jimmy Whittemore has multiple wins aboard and getting better in recent performances. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

At $9.00 right up there last start around here. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Should be swooping on the field late. Driver Bruce Ranger has been successful aboard previously. Can lift in this event.

Odds of $9.00 and close up last start at this venue but suited at this trip historically. Should jump out and bowl along. Kevin Switzer Jr takes over today. Likely to figure right in the finish.
