Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609M

Prize Money: $34,884

GREY HORIZON (4) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 13 metres into eighth at this track over 1609m. Leading hope if he is at his best. PRICE CONTROL (3) turned in an out-of-character effort last start when 12 metres away in seventh over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. Has the benefit of a good draw. Big chance if he brings his A-game. SWEET JEFF (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. WASA HEAT SEEKER (1) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway. Can turn things around.
