Plainridge Racecourse Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609M

SOUTH ST DOTTIE (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and she can find winning ways. CHAKRA (2) finished sixth last start, beaten 50 metres at this track over 1609m. Expect her to be prominent. BETTERTHANHOPE N (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.8 metres at this track over 1609m. MISS TRICKSTER (5) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Wolverina at this track over 1609m in a MNW10000CD on May 4 at $4.10. Raced better the start before that where she won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:53.10) beating South St Dottie in MTRK<76 on April 27 at $1.50. Nicely placed to take this out.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Beantown Deuce (1:53.00) on May 5 at $35.90. Before that 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Chakra (1:53.10) on April 27 at $21.80. Others make more appeal.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fifth behind Chakra at this track over 1609m on April 27 at $16.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Beantown Deuce at this track over 1609m on May 5 at $14.40. One of the key runners.
