Plainridge Racecourse Race 8

1609M

Stake: $17,352

DE CHIRICO (3) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. WOODY'S CASH CROP (2) has had three runs this prep without filling a placing. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished eighth over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. YANKEE SPARKLE (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. MAJOR ASSET (1) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track.
