Plainridge Racecourse Race 6 - Race 6 - 1609M

AMBUSHED (6) registered a strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway. Meets a comparable field and she is a strong winning hope. SEASIDE TINA (3) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on her return. SWEDISH STARLET N (5) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished fourth over 1609m at Saratoga last time out. LYONS BENZ (7) is tough to leave out on the back of five successive wins, most recently at Dover Downs two weeks ago.
