Plainridge Racecourse Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m
CUSTARD DOLCE (3) scored a decisive win last time out over 1609m at Saratoga, getting home by 15 metres in a dominant display. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. CELIA B MONEY (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track. Big chance based on those recent efforts. WAITFOREVER N (8) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway. TWO STAR MAGIC (4) must be considered after she finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Something for the Multiples: CHECKPOINT CHATTER (7)

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind One More Bet at this track over 1609m in a MNW6000CD on September 15 at $11.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Beantown Deuce at this track over 1609m in a MNW6000CD on September 22 at $16.10. Strong winning prospects.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fifth behind Beantown Deuce at this track over 1609m MNW6000CD last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second again at this track same class on September 15. Rates highly so expect a bold run.
