Plainridge Racecourse Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609M

PLATINUM AS (4) was expected to do a lot more last time out when fifth, beaten 21 metres, over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that was far better, including a sound second over 1609m at this track two starts ago. The recent run not a true indication. Good enough to put himself right in the finish. SFORZA (7) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last nine starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at this track. Must overcome a very wide draw. Leading hope in a similar assignment. MORNING EDITION (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. SEA CAN (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on October 2.
