Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609M

Stake: $20,279

PEMBROKE RED (4) finished third at this track two runs ago before finishing seventh at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 metres. This doesn't look as hard so she is in the right race to find winning form. BETTERTHANHOPE (2) turned in an out-of-character effort last time out when 9 metres away in sixth over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This is a nice drop in grade so she is a major player. JUST ONE BITE (1) finished fifth last start over 1609m at this track a week ago. This is a nice assignment and she appeals as a solid top-three chance. CBF STAR POWER (5) is worth some thought based on her victory over 1609m at this track two runs ago.
