Plainridge Racecourse Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609M

BETTERTHANHOPE N (5) disappointed backers last time out when seventh, beaten 9 metres, over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up and she is capable of a much better performance. CHASING DUDES (4) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 8 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar line up and she can make amends. CRUIZIN THE NIGHT (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 6 metres at this track over 1609m. FERN HILL INDIGO (3) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Storybook Bella at this track over 1609m on May 12 at $18.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Trelicious at this track over 1609m on May 18 at $34.10. Sure to play a big role.
