Plainridge Racecourse Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m
BASTONATA BLUECHIP (1) turned in a much better run last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up so he can go one better this time around. STING ME (5) was yet again about the mark last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can add to the solid recent record. COACH CRYS FINALLY (4) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. BEANTOWN BIG AL (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Improved last start with a good run when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Bacchus Blue Chip (1:54.20) in MASS STK on September 28 at $3.40. Should be right in the finish.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Freaky Dreams at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMLT on September 21 at $11.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Takes Courage at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on September 28 at $32.60. Capable of a strong showing.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Takes Courage (1:54.30) in MASS STK on September 28 at $2.70. Two runs back posted a big 9 m win (Fr1) at this track (1:53.30) beating Flint Mccullough in ROMPER RM on September 15 at $3. Has the right credentials to take this out.
