1609m

Prize Money: $15,342

DEAD MANS CHAIN (6) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Mohawk Park, finishing second and just 0.8 metres from the winner. Has the class to take this out. ITS NORAS TIME (5) is racing well with five top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at this track over 1609m. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. HERO OF THE HUDSON (3) ended last prep with a third at Dover Downs over 1609m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. MANASOTA (4) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
