Finger Lakes Race 9

Mdn Special Weight

Prize Money: $46,505

RICHIES LOVE (5) is a genuine type with three minor placings from four starts this prep. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt) after he was in the firing line all the way. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. BABY MEANIE (7) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 24 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. TONY HOOKS (8) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 6 lengths back in second over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. BUSY BUSY BUSY (4) made progress last time out, finishing 15 lengths from the winner in third over 1710m at this track. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.

Was at long odds at debut, ran second last of 9 at this track on July 20 over 1207m, 32 len behind Asset Management with 54.5kg at $26.48. Requires plenty of improvement after a modest debut.

The race before that 2nd of 9 at Aqueduct Inner Turf on April 26 over 1207m, 2 len behind Alzero with 54.5kg at $7.14. Going well enough to take this out.

Second run back. First-up after three months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on July 27 over 1710m, 6 len behind Almez carrying 55kg at $18.68. Previously second-up 6th of 9 at Aqueduct Turf on May 16 over 1207m, 8 len behind Peyton carrying 51.5kg at $67.03. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
