Plainridge Racecourse Race 11 - Race 11 - 1609M
HEARTOFGOLD DEVIE (2) made a winning return at her latest appearance a week ago, getting home by 7 metres over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and she can salute once again. PASS KEY (3) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week ago, finishing 7 metres away in second over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. That latest effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. SWAN FAITH (6) is in fine form with a couple of seconds recently, the latest at this track over 1609m. Capable of turning this good form into a well-deserved win. PAPPY GO GO (1) did not make an impact last start but strips fitter third-up and can improve from this favourable draw.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Doctor Strange at Saratoga over 1609m in a WO2-5PMCD on April 7 at $3.51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Just Roxy at this track over 1609m on April 16 at $4.60. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
