Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609m

Stake: $42,796

MRS CHEESE (3) continued her impressive run of recent efforts last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. ACUSHLA MACHREE N (6) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Primary contender if she is at her best. WHILEMENA RITA A (5) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1609m at Saratoga a week ago. SWEET HAYLEY JANE A (4) is better than her last-start eighth over 1609m at this track.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Soft Shot (1:49.40) in FM OPEN on August 11 at $2.80. Showed ability the race before when she won by 3 m (Fr6) at this track (1:49.20) beating Chakra in MNW10000CD on August 4 at $3.50. Wasn't at her best last time - can improve.

Racing consistently with minor placings at her last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Soft Shot (1:49.40) in FM OPEN on August 11 at $7.20. Before that 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Acushla Machree (1:49.20) in FM OPEN HC on August 4 at $4.30. Happy enough to dismiss.
