Plainridge Racecourse Race 8

1609m

Prize Money: $24,425

MR MCTYGUE (4) finished second last start, beaten 4 metres at this track over 1609m. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat. LYONS BLEWBYU (6) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 7 metres from the winner. Primary contender based on that latest outing. BETTOR'S GOLD (5) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. MANASOTA (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. Something for the Multiples: HOUDINI HANOVER (7)
