Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
ELEGANT A (3) was 3 metres away in third at this track over 1609m last start at her first run back from a spell. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a similar line up so she can certainly take this out. SWEDISH STARLET N (5) won at this track two runs ago before having her colours lowered at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Leading hope if she is at her best. CUSTARD DOLCE (2) finished fourth at Saratoga last time. Consistent performer whose best form stacks up favourably so she must be included. SWEET HAYLEY JANE A (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m third behind Sweet Hayley Jane at this track over 1609m FM OPEN HC last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second at Yonkers Raceway in FNW15521L5 on December 5. Rates highly so expect a bold run.
