Plainridge Racecourse Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609m
LEAVE IT TO LUTHER (5) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 0.6 metres from the winner. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. CHECKERS LEGACY (4) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 19 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. FLIRTIN JK (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. DRAGON THE LINE (3) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Hot On The Trail at this track over 1609m on October 5 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Lone Survivor at this track over 1609m on October 13 at $3.60. Nicely placed to take this out.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following September 9 run. Last start won by 6 m (Fr6) at Bangor Raceway (1:58.00) beating Jones Beach De Vie in NW750L4CD on September 16 at $5.10. This race will be harder than that win. Not keen on his chances.
