Plainridge Racecourse Race 4

1609m

Prize Money: $21,337

D A LETS DANCE (5) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 30 metres. This doesn't look as hard so he is set to play a significant role. FIRE THE PREZ (2) scored two runs back then registered an effortless victory last time out, scoring by 8 metres over 1609m at Saratoga. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to cope. HES COMING ON (1) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. ARDEN MESSI N (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m when fresh from a spell.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Just Givener at this track over 1609m in a W3-6PMLT on October 16 at $16.60. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 24 m by Pa Luke (1:49.20) in W3-6PMLT on October 9 at $2.70. Rates highly. Big chance.

Is on a seven-day back-up and has been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 m by Captain Tell (1:52.30) on October 27 at $6.20. Will find this assignment a lot tougher.
