Plainridge Racecourse Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609m

LYONS BLEWBYU (5) put the writing on the wall two runs ago then improved further last time out when he scored by 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track. Big chance in a similar assignment. WHATA FOOLBELIEVES (1) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to cope. VARNEY (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. NOTED A (3) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score over 1609m at this track.
