Plainridge Racecourse Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609M
HE'S SO SMART (3) scored a authoritative win when fresh from a break last time out over 1609m at Philadelphia on May 7, finishing 11 metres ahead of his rivals. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. LYONS BLEWBYU (4) had to call on all reserves to salute at the most recent appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.9 metres. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. NATHAN'S HONOR (8) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 4 metres at this track over 1609m. GRACIES TOUGH GUY (6) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Resuming after six-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into eighth behind In Play Hanover at Saratoga over 1609m in a WO2-5PMCD on November 2 at $30.14. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Respect.
