Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609M

Stake: $41,857

SFORZA (4) Missed by a narrow margin last start at this venue. Bruce Ranger is very comfortable in the saddle. Has been a model of consistency this prep. Strong chance. MARQUIS LAFAYETTE (3) Threw down a serious challenge last time here. Domenico Cecere takes over today. Looking sharp on the track this preparation. No shock to see a win. BIG BOX HANOVER (7) Ran 6th last start at Yonkers Raceway. Has early speed and positions nicely. Matthew Athearn booked to drive here. In good shape since returning from a spell. Contender. SNOWPIERCER (5) Led all the way when winning by 2.25m last time around here. Expecting to settle positively. In a purple patch of form since resuming from a spell. Include in chances.
