Plainridge Racecourse Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609M

VIRTUAL HORIZON (4) Narrowly beaten last run at this venue. Should bounce back and proven performer at this distance. Dropping back to a shorter trip. Must respect in this event. TACK ROOM CHATTER (5) Finished 7th last time at the track and coming back in trip. Suitably placed in this race. ER GRIFFIN (3) Threw down a serious challenge last run at this track but back in trip. Should come to hand quickly. In the placings on multiple occasions this preparation. One of the hopes. ALTA CLASSIC A (1) Competed in a tight contest last start here and has the ideal draw. Has a nice turn of foot. Getting better in recent performances. Don't leave out of trifectas and watch market moves closely
