Plainridge Racecourse Race 6 - Race 6 - 1609m

LIFES A PUZZLE (5) finished seventh last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 metres, after a good third at this track the run prior. Meets a similar line up and he can make amends. KILL A DRAGON (2) turned in a much better run last time out, finishing second over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the sound recent effort. SMIFFY'S TERROR N (3) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. SUNDOWN KID (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 20 m by Set Shot (1:51.30) in NW9000CD on September 22 at $2.50. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:51.10) beating Justa Little Bit in NW6000CD on September 15 at $1.80. Genuine chance.
