Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609M

Prize Money: $20,231

LUKE MCGOOK (2) Finished 5th last start at this track. Tracking very well this campaign. Kevin Switzer Jr rates highly aboard. Goes close. BEACH WATCH (1) On a short back up. Competed in a tight contest last start around here and has drawn the rails. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Can measure up to this company. CIGARS AND PORT (3) Racing on a quick back up. Folded up in the straight when 7th last run here. Should improve. Will be hitting the line strongly. Keep in mind. FRANK DEFORD (5) Backing up quickly. Close up last run around here. Expecting improvement. Brett Beckwith and Kate Gerow are an appealing combination. One of the hopes
