Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609M

Stake: $41,990

FOUREVER BOY (6) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his success last start, scoring by 2.25 metres over 1609m at this track. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. ROCKNROLL RUNA (2) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he can finish a lot closer this time. ALEX HAVING FUN (4) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track a week ago. UNRIVALED HANOVER (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by 18 metres at Saratoga over 1609m.
