Plainridge Racecourse Race 11

1609M

Prize Money: $11,645

BELLA'S LOVE (2) resumes after finishing sixth at her latest appearance at this track on November 24. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. NORTHERN SULTAN (6) resumes here after closing his last campaign with a fourth at this track on November 24. Expecting a very good run. JERICHO (8) ended last prep with a win at this track over 1609m five months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. CARSON HILL (1) last appeared when eighth over 1609m at this track five months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into sixth behind And Up We Go at this track over 1609m on November 24 at $5.10. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 17 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:57.00) beating Greenhorn in NW2PMLT on April 17 at $2.70. Has the right credentials to take this out.
