Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
PLATINUM AS (7) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 1.5 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall again. MARQUIS LAFAYETTE (2) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can grab that well-deserved win. MORNING EDITION (4) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 2.25 metres into third at this track. No reason he cannot take this out. DEADLINE HALL (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m.
