Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609m
SWEDISH STARLET N (5) was successful last start by 4.5 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar line up so she can make it two on the bounce. PEMBROKE SOUTHIE (4) made it two wins from her last three outings a week ago, getting home by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. Must raise the bar but another win is on the cards. TAKE YOUR PICK (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m. Must be included. AMBUSHED (7) is tough to leave out on the back of three successive wins, most recently at Yonkers Raceway a week ago.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr2) at Pocono Downs (1:52.20) beating Absolute Power in MNW8500L5 on October 12 at $2.60. Two runs back 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 2.25 m by Loot (1:53.20) in MNW8500L5 on October 5 at $1.60. Facing a more difficult task this time.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 1.5 m (Fr6) at this track (1:50.30) beating Pembroke Southie in MNW10000CD on October 16 at $4.40. Two runs back 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by One More Bet (1:50.40) in FM OPEN 2 on October 9 at $3.50. Not likely to feature.

Meets Swedish Starlet again; when 45 metres sixth at this track over 1609m in a FM OPEN race on October 16. Can't have on that basis.

Going well. Last start won by 5 m (Fr6) at this track (1:50.40) beating Twin B Sunkissed in MNW10000CD on October 23 at $7.20. Going well enough to take care of these.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 m by Swedish Starlet (1:50.00) in FM OPEN on October 16 at $6. Two runs back posted a big 4 m win (Fr4) at this track (1:51.30) beating Acushla Machree in FM OPEN on October 9 at $3.30. Sure to be about the money again.

Registered three wins at her last three starts. Last start won by a 0.9 m (Fr2) at Yonkers Raceway (1:54.10) beating Harleequin in FNW30000L5 on October 23 at $7.72. Hard to leave out on current form. Each-way chance.
