Plainridge Racecourse Race 3

1609M

Stake: $17,404

SPORTSNEST (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Big chance based on those recent efforts. ZIPPIDY ZOOM (1) was out of the money two runs back at this track then displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 10 metres over 1609m at the same circuit. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Primary contender in a similar assignment. I'M A CLOWN (2) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. MAJOR ASSET (5) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m.
