Plainridge Racecourse Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m

NIKASA N (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 16 metres at Bangor Raceway over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. SWEET NAN (4) was successful last start by 0.8 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Steps up a level but she is capable of running another big race. FERN HILL INDIGO (1) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SEAFOOD CC (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.6 metres at this track over 1609m.
