Plainridge Racecourse Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609M
FOUREVER BOY (4) was successful at his most recent outing by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Primary contender in a similar assignment. ALEX HAVING FUN (6) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 11 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Big chance if he is at his best. NATAMERI (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at his first run back over 1609m at Saratoga. HEINIKIN BYTHEBAY (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.
