Plainridge Racecourse Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609M
LYONS SHINING (3) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. BAD GIRLS (2) has had two runs this prep without filling a placing. Was again unable to find the frame last time when she finished seventh over 1609m at this track, beaten 40 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. TRELICIOUS (4) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. TWIN B KINI (5) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 40 m by One Eyed Delilah (1:52.30) on May 5 at $8.90. The run before 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 80 m by South St Dottie (1:54.00) on April 21 at $96.30. Anticipating a much better performance this time.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Fern Hill Indigo at this track over 1609m on April 27 at $18.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Smokin Molly at this track over 1609m on May 5 at $7.30. Heading the right way and is a leading contender.
