Plainridge Racecourse Race 6

1609m

Prize Money: $16,691

SOUTH ST DOTTIE (1) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 20 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field so she can play a big role in the outcome. ALWAYS B BEST (8) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Expecting a very good run. ROARING KITTY (5) is on the radar after her last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. MISS TRICKSTER (3) is worth some thought despite her last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on July 20.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following July 14 run. Last start won by 4 m (Fr2) at this track (1:54.10) beating Lone Survivor in TRK<73 on July 23 at $17.90. This race will be harder than that win. Needs to step up.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 8 m by Storybook Bella (1:54.10) on July 23 at $1.20. Showed ability the race before when she won by 3 m (Fr5) at this track (1:52.40) beating Always B Best in SPIRIT 76 on July 14 at $14.90. Rates highly. Big chance.

Well beaten last start by Always B Best, a rival who she faces again; when 21 metres eighth at this track over 1609m in a SPIRIT 76 race on July 6. Can't see her featuring.

Last start 4th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 13 m by Two Star Magic (1:51.30) in MNW3000CD on July 20 at $11.50. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 3 m by Roaring Kitty (1:52.40) in SPIRIT 76 on July 14 at $4.10. Should be right in the finish.
