Plainridge Racecourse Race 4

1609M

Stake: $25,349

BOCA RATON (2) recent form has been excellent. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 1.5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can grab another win. WYATT EARP (3) turned in an out-of-character effort most recently when 14 metres away in sixth over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Won't find this any harder and he can turn in a much better performance. LIAM'S ACE (4) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. EXCEPTIONALISM (1) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
