Plainridge Racecourse Race 8

1609M

Prize Money: $22,936

WINDYDAYATTHEBEACH (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 12 metres at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. This is a nice drop in class so she is set to play a significant role. COUGAR ON A TERR (1) finished third last start, beaten 12 metres at this track over 1609m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. BETTERTHANHOPE (7) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. MISS TRICKSTER (4) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.
