Plainridge Racecourse Race 11

1609M

Prize Money: $22,936

ALWAYS A MIKI (2) hasn't been too far off them of late and again performed well last time over 1609m at this track, finishing fourth and just 9 metres from the winner. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and he can grab that well-deserved win. PINK FLOYD HANOVER (7) scored last start over 1609m at Saratoga eight days ago. This is a nice assignment and a forward showing is anticipated. HEAVEN ON HIGH (8) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at this track over 1609m.
