Plainridge Racecourse Race 6

1609M

Stake: $24,771

RY'S RED ROCKET (5) finished second at this track over 1609m last time out, disappointing backers who took the short price. Meets a comparable field and she can bounce back to her best form. BETTERTHANHOPE (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 12 metres at this track over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. SOUTH ST DOTTIE (4) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1609m at this track. Great chance to break through. VENICE BLUE CHIP (6) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
