Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609m

Prize Money: $34,483

SWEDISH STARLET N (5) was successful last start by 4.5 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar line up so she can make it two on the bounce. PEMBROKE SOUTHIE (4) made it two wins from her last three outings a week ago, getting home by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. Must raise the bar but another win is on the cards. TAKE YOUR PICK (6) 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. AMBUSHED (7) is tough to leave out on the back of three successive wins, most recently at Yonkers Raceway a week ago.

Going well. Last start won by 5 m (Fr6) at this track (1:50.40) beating Twin B Sunkissed in MNW10000CD on October 23 at $7.20. Going well enough to take care of these.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 m by Swedish Starlet (1:50.00) in FM OPEN on October 16 at $6. Two runs back posted a big 4 m win (Fr4) at this track (1:51.30) beating Acushla Machree in FM OPEN on October 9 at $3.30. Sure to be about the money again.
