Plainridge Racecourse Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609M
BELLA'S LOVE (4) form this prep has been excellent and she made it two from two when successful at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 3 metres. Big chance based on those recent efforts. GRAFENBERG (1) finished second at his most recent outing, beaten 3 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m when second-up from a break. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. JOEY BATS (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at this track over 1609m. HEARTOFGOLD DEVIE (8) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Moms Cash at this track over 1609m on April 16 at $2.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Bella's Love at this track over 1609m on April 23 at $2.80. In the mix from the inside draw.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Heartofgold Devie at this track over 1609m in a NW2500CD on April 16 at $5.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Pass Key at this track over 1609m on April 23 at $10.30. Sure to play a big role.

Five-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 3 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:58.10) beating Grafenberg in TRK<70 on April 23 at $2. Recent form hard to fault.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Armani Blue Chip at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m in a W2BNMT4 on April 15 at $4.61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Pass Key at this track over 1609m on April 23 at $11.90. Definite winning chance.
