Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609M

Prize Money: $38,880

PLATINUM AS (4) turned in a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway on May 29. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. MORNING EDITION (2) showed plenty of fight to salute last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 1.5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Leading hope in this comparable race. SFORZA (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck when resuming at this track over 1609m. BIG BOX HANOVER (1) must be included after winning his past two starts, the latest at Saratoga two weeks ago.
