Plainridge Racecourse Race 8

1609M

Stake: $41,857

SFORZA (6) Close to a win last start at this track and proven performer at this distance in the past. Added confidence with Bruce Ranger doing the steering. No shock to see a win. MOCHA JAVA (2) Close to a win last time here. Likely to bounce back. Has a great burst of speed late. Capable of getting into the money. BILL BAUER (5) Just missed last start at the track. Will be trying to topple them late. Solid place bet prospects. KYRIE DEO (4) Right in the mix last time at this track. Expecting improvement. Keep in mind.

Was 10/3 and competed in a tight contest last run at this track. Capable of bouncing back and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Too much luck needed to come into contention.

Competed in a tight contest last time at this venue. Likely to bounce back. Should be swooping on the field late. Follow the money.
