Finger Lakes Race 1

Allowance

Prize Money: $41,705

NEWPORT BRIDGE (5) was well fancied last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 9 lengths. Joel Cruz stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on four occasions. Well placed and should be in the finish. CHARLIE'S EXPRESS (1) is a genuine type with three minor placings from three starts this prep. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt) after he was always up in the leading division. Has the class to produce another positive result. GOLD TEMPLAR (4) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Laird O Bailey scored on him last time and retains the ride. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. JOHN'S IN CHARGE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.8 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better effort. No reason he cannot salute again.
