Plainridge Racecourse Race 3

1609m

Prize Money: $13,552

CHASING DUDES (4) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 14 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. This is a nice drop in grade so she is sure to prove tough to beat. FERN HILL INDIGO (6) did a good job to finish second two starts ago then recorded a comfortable win last time out, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. This is a nice drop in class so she is sure to prove tough to beat again. ALWAYS B BEST (7) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Something for the Multiples: SMOKIN MOLLY (3)

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Coach Cutsinger at this track over 1609m on July 30 at $15.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind D A Wicked Shine at this track over 1609m on August 6 at $18.60. Well placed to go one better.
