Plainridge Racecourse Race 9

1609M

Prize Money: $36,127

MARQUIS LAFAYETTE (8) Just shy of the win last run around here. Driver Bruce Ranger is very comfortable in the saddle. Been in the money frequently this campaign. Can win. SEA CAN (7) Missed by a narrow margin last time at this track. Going well this preparation. Has to be included. SNOWPIERCER (3) Competed in a tight contest last run at Saratoga Harness. Brett Beckwith takes over the steering today. Very competitive this preparation. Can feature. MOTTO (6) Was agonizingly close last start at this venue. Meeting a good field and you can take on trust
