Plainridge Racecourse Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m
STING ME (5) George G Ducharme trained 2yo first starter by Perfect Sting. Market as guide. ATREIDES (4) Close up last start at Harrah's Philadelphia. Cannot underestimate. BEANTOWN BIG AL (1) Tidy run when 3rd last time at this track and was on debut last time. Will be positive in the run early. Drawn the rails. Should be in the finish. FLINT MCCULLOUGH (3) Came in 4th last time at this venue but having second career run. Should be going forward early. First four hope.

Jumped at $33.00 and ran 7th last start at this track but was a debutant last start. Gets back and needs luck. Looking at others.

Started at $15.00 and ran 4th last time at the track but fitter for debut run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Few more classier types in this race.

Initial appearance 2yo by Perfect Sting for George G Ducharme. Betting is the best guide.
