Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609M

Stake: $18,166

ALWAYS B BEST (4) produced a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres. Won't find this any harder and she can find her way to the winners' stall. VALENTINE ROSE (6) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 23 metres. Expect her to be prominent. BEAN SHOOTER (5) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m. Must be included. STONEBRIDGE HYPNOS (2) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can atone.
