Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609m
TWO STAR MAGIC (1) recorded yet another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Primary contender based on that latest outing. CHECKPOINT CHATTER (2) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 16 metres. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. WOLVERINA (3) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. FAMOUS FAST WORDS (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Cumberland Raceway over 1609m.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Windydayatthebeach at this track over 1609m in a MNW6000CD on August 11 at $11.80. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Pembroke Southie at this track over 1609m in a MNW5000CD on August 18 at $19. Hard to fault on current form.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Pembroke Southie (1:51.30) in MNW5000CD on August 18 at $11. Showed ability the run before when she won by 4 m (Fr6) at this track (1:52.20) beating Ladysassin in MNW3000CD on August 11 at $9.60. Has the ability to play a major role.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m second behind Wolverina at this track over 1609m MNW3000CD last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second again at this track same class on August 4. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
