Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M
ENCRYPTION (7) brings strong recent form, having won two of his last three and finishing a close 3rd at Plainridge over 1609m last start, beaten just 0.5L after leading throughout. MANADOR (2) is a key chance with a solid record at this track and trip, including a win and a narrow 2nd here last season, though his recent Saratoga runs have been less competitive. KILLING JOKE (3) has struggled in his last two at Plainridge but did win at Tioga Downs last campaign. SCRAPPY IDEAL (4) has been around the mark with a 3rd and 4th in his last five but hasn't broken through recently. Encryption (7) profiles as the runner to beat based on recent consistency and proven winning ability at the distance.
