Finger Lakes Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
VALENTINE GIFT (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then was never in contention last start when 9 lengths away in fifth over 1106m at this track. Has the class to figure prominently. GOODYS GIRL (5) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on February 5, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1106m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Now under the care of new trainer Chris Englehart. Should be hard to stop. TALE OF THE TAIL (4) resumes in a similar race to her last run six-and-a-half months ago when fifth, beaten 17 lengths. Has found the right race and is worth including. CUE THE MUSIC (1) started this preparation with a win then was less impressive last time out when fourth over 1106m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. Last start second last of 8 at Aqueduct on April 26 over 1609m, 26 len behind Whistler's Style with 56kg at $20.82. The race before that ran last of 9 at Aqueduct on March 28 over 1408m, 28 len behind Pink Rose with 56kg at $54.67. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
