Plainridge Racecourse Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609M

ALWAYS B BEST (2) made a nice return at her latest appearance a week ago, finishing 35 metres away in third over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Leading hope in a similar assignment. SOUTH ST DOTTIE (5) made a nice return at her latest appearance a week ago, finishing 30 metres away in second over 1609m at this track. Her last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. SEAFOOD BEAUTY (8) scored by 2.25 metres over 1609m at this track last start at the second run back from a break. Plenty of room for improvement so another win would not surprise. BETTERTHANHOPE N (4) is in the mix following a fifth at her first run back over 1609m at this track.
