Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
HUNTING HULA (6) finished fourth last start, beaten 11 metres at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m. Has the class to take care of this field. GOWESTYOUNGGRACE (3) could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, failing to live up to market expectations. Form prior to that was far better, including a sound third over 1609m at this track two starts ago. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. SS SUPERSTAR (5) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. TWO STAR MAGIC (7) cannot be left out after recording a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at this track a week ago.
