Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M

MORNING EDITION (4) showed plenty of fight to score last time out over 1609m at Saratoga, getting home by just 0.6 metres. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of another big performance. BALENCIAGA (2) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Well-placed to take this out. MEMORYNIMAGINATION (8) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 6 metres at Saratoga over 1609m. PLATINUM AS (6) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Saratoga.
