Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M
JON I LOVE DAT (2) form has been hard to fault. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres, on the back of a couple of wins, the most recent at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. SOUTHPAW (4) scored last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role again. DIGGING FOR GOLD (6) finished second at this track last time. Consistent and deserves respect. Something for the Multiples: RJS RED DEVIL (3)
