Plainridge Racecourse Race 2

1609M

Prize Money: $21,407

A FAIR OL DANCE (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. BRAZOS (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1609m. FRANK DEFORD (1) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on July 14.
