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.
