Plainridge Racecourse Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609M
CRUIZIN THE NIGHT (4) scored at Bangor Raceway two runs ago before having her colours lowered when third at her latest appearance over 1609m at Bangor Raceway, beaten 18 metres. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. SMOKIN MOLLY (5) finished fifth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Leading hope if she is at her best. EXCEPTIONALISM (1) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1609m at this track six days ago. COUNTRY REBA (6) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound second at this track over 1609m.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Walk It Talk It at Bangor Raceway over 1609m in a NW1500L4CD on May 10 at $3.60. Raced better the start before that where she won by 3 m as favourite (Fr6) at Bangor Raceway (1:59.20) beating Tobins Hottie in FMNW1000L4 on May 6 at $1.80. Hard to fault on current form.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Storybook Bella (1:54.00) on May 12 at $9.70. Showed ability the outing before when she won by 5 m (Fr3) at this track (1:55.40) beating Twin B Kini in MTMR<71 on May 5 at $2.40. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Forwhomthebeltolls at this track over 1609m in a FMNW2PMLT on May 4 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Forwhomthebeltolls at this track over 1609m in a FMNW2PMLT on May 12 at $11.40. Hard to roll on current form.
