Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609m

Prize Money: $22,825

AMBUSHED (2) finished fourth last start, beaten 12 metres at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BEANTOWN DEUCE (1) is in good form at present. Finished fifth at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. SKY BLU LOU A (6) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. MOTH HUNTER A (4) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 1609m at this track two runs back.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Royally Hot (1:50.00) in FM OPEN on September 1 at $34.20. Showed ability the race before when she won by 1.5 m (Fr5) at this track (1:52.00) beating One Eyed Delilah in MNW7500CD on August 25 at $12.40. One of the better hopes.
