Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m

ROYALLY HOT (5) turned in an out-of-character effort most recently when 18 metres away in eighth over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. Meets a comparable field and she can make amends. SWEDISH STARLET N (8) had been out of the money in recent runs before the latest appearance when she scored by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw. That latest effort is good enough to put her right in the finish. TAKE YOUR PICK (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. ELEGANT A (1) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Swedish Starlet at this track over 1609m in a FM OPEN HC on September 17 at $3.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Swedish Starlet (1:50.20) in FM OPEN HC on September 17 at $12.50. Showed ability the race before when she won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:50.40) beating Royally Hot in FM OPEN on September 8 at $2.60. Should be right in the finish.
