Plainridge Racecourse Race 9

1609M

Prize Money: $30,581

SIDE PIECE (6) could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, failing to live up to market expectations. Won't find this any harder and she can finish a lot closer this time. SEASIDE TINA (7) is in good form at present. Finished second at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Leading hope based on recent form. BEANTOWN ACE (3) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. ISLAND BOUHINIA (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at Saratoga over 1609m.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 21 run. Last start posted a big 6 m win (Fr1) at this track (1:52.20) beating Beantown Deuce in MNW5000CD on August 28 at $4.80. This race will be harder than that win.
