Finger Lakes Race 3 - Aspirant S. Stakes
BIG POPPY (6) Picked up late to win last start here but up against tougher opponents. Displays very good closing speed. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. COVERED OPTION (1) Was a comprehensive winner by just over 8L last start at Saratoga and can save some energy from the draw. Can go through the gears. Racing against tougher rivals. Looks well suited in this race. D I WIRE (4) Tailed off to finish 5th last run at Saratoga. Looking past the last run but testing ability against stronger contenders. Has plenty of early speed. Winning prospect. BAJAN SUGAR (5) Linda K Dixon trained 2yo by Courageous Cat having first race appearance. Watch the betting.

Had a comfortable win by more than 8L last start at Saratoga and has drawn the rails. Will be motoring home late. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Good winning chance.

Jumped at $9.00 and gave away some ground when 5th last run at Saratoga. Looking past the last run but matched against tougher rivals. Should race on the speed. Strong chance to be considered.
