Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
LUCA BAY (4) produced a better effort last start when he scored by 12 metres over 1609m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but he is good enough to take this out. LYONS BLEWBYU (7) registered another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Leading hope based on that latest outing. SMILE HAPPY (6) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at Tioga Downs over 1609m. Hard to find fault. SUM LAD (5) disappointed last time when sixth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at Bangor Raceway beaten 13 m by Lindythefourteenth (1:59.20) in TM 58 on May 31 at $2.70. Two runs back won by 1.5 m (Fr5) at Cumberland Raceway (1:59.40) beating Odds On King Cobra in NW 1 PM on May 22 at $6. Decent effort last start. In the mix again.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Grazia at Tioga Downs over 1609m in a FMNW2PM on May 23 at $67.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Bluebird Bella at Tioga Downs over 1609m in a FMNW2PM on May 29 at $4.26. Rates highly. Big chance.
