Plainridge Racecourse Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609m
LIFES A PUZZLE (1) drew wide once again last start and failed to feature, beaten 5 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Has the talent to take this out. STELLAR YANKEE (5) finished third at this track two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres. Finds a nice race and can make amends. TH KAY C CRUNCH (3) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. ARDEN MESSI N (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Pocono Downs a week-and-a-half ago.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 5 m by Hunting Zone (1:49.30) in NW10000L4 on June 11 at $26. The start before 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Hes Coming On (1:50.10) in NW12500L4 on June 4 at $29.90. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.

Last start 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 5 m by Hunting Zone (1:49.30) in NW10000L4 on June 11 at $5.90. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 4 m by Hes Coming On (1:50.10) in NW12500L4 on June 4 at $4.70. Should be right in the finish.
