Plainridge Racecourse Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609M
SMOOTH LANDING (3) did a good job to finish third two starts ago then recorded an effortless win last time out, scoring by 5 metres over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of making it consecutive wins. SHIV (1) went well to finish third two starts ago then recorded a comfortable victory last start, scoring by 8 metres over 1609m at Saratoga. Has the benefit of a good draw. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. BEAUEASTEL (7) should be at his peak for this. Finished fourth over 1609m at Pocono Downs at the latest appearance nine days ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. DRYDEN HANOVER (5) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Meadowlands.

Showed ability the race before when he won by a 0.9 m (Fr1) at Meadowlands (1:55.00) beating Southwind Mac in TM<77.5CD on April 3 at $15.50. Genuine chance.
