Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
LADYSASSIN (4) finished second last start, beaten 4 metres at this track over 1609m. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. JUDGE ME AGAIN (1) ran sixth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 30 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. SMILE HAPPY (2) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. LYONS BENZ (5) could only finish ninth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by One Eyed Delilah (1:52.30) in MNW6000CD on June 22 at $11.70. The run prior 7th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Royally Hot (1:51.20) in MNW10000CD on June 15 at $19.80. No surprise to see her bounce back to form.

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Choiceofthetown (1:52.30) in MNW3000CD on June 22 at $9. Two runs back won by a 0.8 m (Fr6) at this track (1:52.00) beating Lyons Blewbyu in NW2PMLT on June 11 at $11.40. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Hungry Lady at Cumberland Raceway over 1609m in a FM TMR 69 on June 13 at $12.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Cbf Star Power at this track over 1609m on June 22 at $17.10. Looks the testing material.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by Trelicious (1:53.30) on June 22 at $43.30. Before that 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 45 m by Seafood Beauty (1:52.30) in MSPIRIT 76 on June 15 at $30.10. Might find this lot a bit smart.
