Plainridge Racecourse Race 11 - Race 11 - 1609m

SMOOTH LANDING (2) recorded another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish third over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway. No excuses from this advantageous draw. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. CHASING CRYSTALS (3) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 8 metres from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. ARABELLA'S GLIDER (5) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. WICKED FUN (7) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Didn't do much last time out, 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Laurens Hoopla (1:55.30) on August 6 at $28.10. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Northern Sultan (1:57.20) on July 23 at $3.30. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Northern Sultan at this track over 1609m on July 23 at $2.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Consus Victory at this track over 1609m on July 30 at $8.10. Should be right in the finish.
