Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M

EVER HOPING A (6) Finished hard to win last time at Tioga Downs. Can't knock the form winning 3 on the bounce. Has plenty of early speed. Good prospects. ALEX HAVING FUN (4) Right in the mix last start around here. In good racing form since coming back from a break. Can give this a shake. VINTAGE CHEDDAR N (5) Right in contention last start here. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Showing good ability this campaign. Can go on with it. ALWAYS A MIKI (2) Was agonizingly close last start at this track. Keep in mind
