Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
FAMILY JEWEL (5) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at Bangor Raceway, finishing second and just 8 metres from the winner. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. CHASING DUDES (4) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last six starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field so she can play a significant role. MOLLYS GAME (1) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. SWEET CAROLINE (2) is worth some thought despite her last-start seventh over 1609m at Ocean Downs on September 2.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Rapid Fire at this track over 1609m on October 8 at $1.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Rapid Fire at this track over 1609m on October 16 at $6.20. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Century Liberty at Cumberland Raceway over 1609m in a FM TMR 72 on July 24 at $5.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Century Liberty at Bangor Raceway over 1609m in a FMNW1500L4 on September 16 at $12.30. Capable of taking this out.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1609m, 6 days ago and two back 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 50 m by Ladysassin (1:52.10) in MNW3000CD on September 22 at $46.20. Difficult to enthuse based on recent efforts.
