Plainridge Racecourse Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609m

ALWAYS B BEST (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 10 metres at this track over 1609m. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. RAPID FIRE (6) produced a strong effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 4.5 metres from the winner in third, adding to her impressive overall record. Leading hope based on recent efforts. CHAKRA (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. SMILE HAPPY (3) will be cherry-ripe after four runs back from a spell, the latest effort a second at this track six days ago.
