Plainridge Racecourse Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M
BEACH LEGACY (6) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his victory last time out, scoring by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. LYONS BLEWBYU (2) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a return to winning ways. GRACIES TOUGH GUY (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. MAGIC MONARCH (4) is worth some thought despite his last-start eighth over 1609m at Pocono Downs on April 25.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m second behind Fox Valley Grit at this track over 1609m NW1PMLT last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third again at this track same class on May 7. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Beach Legacy (1:52.10) in NW2PMLT on May 14 at $11.10. Two runs back won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:54.30) beating Eager Beaver in NW1PMLT on May 7 at $1.60. Should be right in the finish.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Altair Blue Chip at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMLT on April 28 at $28. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Lyons Blewbyu at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMLT on May 7 at $5.40. Nicely placed to take this out.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Waterfront (1:52.20) in NW4PMLT on May 14 at $41.50. Before that 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Show Respect (1:53.30) in NW4PMLT on May 7 at $43.20. Unlikely to threaten.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Beach Legacy (1:52.10) in NW2PMLT on May 14 at $51.10. Needs to lift.
