Plainridge Racecourse Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m
ATREIDES (4) filled a minor placing at Pocono Downs two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 10 metres. Has the ability to take care of this field. BEANTOWN BIG AL (1) kicked off his career in good style a week ago, beaten 21 metres into third over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Big chance in a similar race. STING ME (5) is a two-year-old gelding from the George Ducharme stable on debut. Well-placed to score at his first appearance. FLINT MCCULLOUGH (3) finished 30 metres back in fourth over 1609m at this track recently at his first race start. Strips fitter and can improve.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Celtic Wave at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a TSS 2YRCG on August 3 at $12.80. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Crunchstyle at Philadelphia over 1609m in a TSS-2YOCGP on August 14 at $6.20. Hard to fault on current form.

Two-year-old gelding by Perfect Sting out of Gallie On Thebeach on debut. Finished third in a trial on August 14 at Vernon Downs over 1609m. A bit of a push for him in early discussions is worth noting.
