Little Jethro has been racing consistently in C4-C5 class races so from a good draw he gets his chance to break back into the harness racing winner's circle at the UBET Racing Centre in Launceston on Friday night.
The Rod Plunkett-trained gelding finished second to the in-form Williamlee in Launceston two starts back in a C4-C5 over 2200 metres and he lines up against slightly weaker opposition on Friday night from the coveted pole position.
Provided driver Dylan Ford can execute a swift beginning the gelding could find the front or trail the lead and either way he would be in the race for a long way.
Little Jethro goes around in race four at 8.06pm on the nine-event program that kicks off at 6.30pm and concludes with a C1 race over 2200 metres in which Cheshire Cat (5) could surprise at odds.
