Plainridge Racecourse Race 10

1609M

Prize Money: $38,226

MARQUIS LAFAYETTE (6) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. PLATINUM AS (7) was successful at his most recent outing by 4 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Recent effort is good enough to take out a race like this. SEA CAN (5) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. A NEW LEADER (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on September 8.
