Plainridge Racecourse Race 2

1609M

Prize Money: $15,363

DANCE MONKEY (4) turned in another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1609m at this track. Big chance based on those recent outings. MONEYMAKESHERHAPPY (3) scored at Cumberland Raceway three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when third over 1609m at Bangor Raceway, beaten 13 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of taking this out. KICK THE DIRT UP (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. PRINCE BAYARD (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Dreamfair Fantasy at Cumberland Raceway over 1609m in a FM TMR 72 on May 23 at $1.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Santa Fe Kat at Bangor Raceway over 1609m in a FMNW1500L4 on May 27 at $5.20. Nicely placed to take this out.
