Plainridge Racecourse Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m
TWO TWENTY SWIFT (1) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 6 metres into sixth at Tioga Downs over 1609m. Has the benefit of a far better draw. Has the class to take this out. VAINGLORIOUS (6) has been most impressive of late and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 1609m at The Red Mile, getting home by 2.25 metres. Must raise the bar but the hat-trick is not out of the question. IDEAL LILLY (3) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at Saratoga over 1609m. JUST DELIGHTFUL (5) ended last prep with a second at Cumberland Raceway over 1609m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.
