Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609m

Stake: $19,559

CHASING DUDES (3) finished fifth last start, beaten 13 metres at this track over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Won't find this any harder and she can figure in the finish. SWEET NAN (2) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last six starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and she can get the job done. NIKASA N (5) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. SEAFOOD CC (4) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Adriano Hanover at this track over 1609m on October 27 at $1.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Sweet Caroline at this track over 1609m on November 2 at $2.80. Strong winning hope.
