Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609m

Prize Money: $58,333

MAXMAN (1) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 35 metres, after a modest sixth at Meadowlands the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Has the class to take this out. SPARKLING LINDY (2) has been racing very well and deserved his victory last time out, scoring by 3 metres over 1609m at The Meadows. Has the benefit of a good draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. KOUFAX (4) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at Tioga Downs nine days ago. ONCE UPON LINDY (3) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 1609m at The Red Mile last time out.
