Plainridge Racecourse Race 11

1609M

Prize Money: $23,256

ALEX HAVING FUN (7) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 16 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. TUFFENUFTOWEARPINK (6) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 14 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. ER GRIFFIN (1) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago. EVER HOPING (4) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good third over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway two runs back.
