Plainridge Racecourse Race 4

1609M

Stake: $24,771

BOCA RATON (6) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at this track over 1609m. Meets a comparable field so he can play a significant role. SUNSATIONAL (4) finished eighth at this track two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 metres. Big chance if things go his way. CLEARWATER COURAGE (5) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. SEAFOOD STAR (7) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track on June 19.
