Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M

JOEY BATS (1) was once again right in the mix last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Recent efforts are good enough to win a race of this calibre. FOG WATCH (3) scored a decisive win last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by 12 metres in an emphatic display. Has the benefit of a good draw. Her last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. LAURENS HOOPLA (2) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can atone. BILLY B (5) disappointed last time when sixth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
