Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M

GOWESTYOUNGGRACE (1) made it two wins from two runs this prep last start when she got the cash by 4.5 metres over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she has the ability to mix it with them. BEANTOWN ACE (7) was out of the money two back at this track. Turned in a better run last time out when second over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. LYONS BENZ (5) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. CHAKRA (2) must be respected after scoring last start by 0.8 metres at this track over 1609m.

Five-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Cumberland Raceway both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Cumberland Raceway (1:58.20) beating Ga Speed Matrix in FMNW3500L4 on May 9 at $2. Recent form hard to fault.
