Plainridge Racecourse Race 8

1609M

Prize Money: $38,226

MARQUIS LAFAYETTE (5) was racing well but struggling to win before the latest appearance when he scored by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done again. USAIN HANOVER (7) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 17 metres over 1609m at Philadelphia. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. SEA CAN (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 0.8 metres at this track over 1609m. MEMORYNIMAGINATION (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m.
