Plainridge Racecourse Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m

JUSTA LITTLE BIT A (2) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 15 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Fares a lot better at the draw this time and is good enough to take out a race like this. TH KAY C CRUNCH (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. SPORTY M THREE (4) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. JL'S ROCK STAR (3) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track on October 2.

Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Vernon Downs beaten 9 m by Fear Romeo (1:52.00) in NW5001CD on October 2 at $8.72. Two runs back won by 3 m (Fr5) at Vernon Downs (1:52.40) beating Ny Jim in NW3501CD on September 26 at $5.88. Unlikely to make an impression.
