Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609M

Stake: $19,316

BAY CITY (1) resumes after great success last prep, winning on three occasions and culminating in success over 1609m at Saratoga on November 23. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. WHATA FOOLBELIEVES (6) produced a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on June 5. Tackles a similar assignment and he can get the job done again. GABE HANOVER (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. HES COMING ON (2) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.
