Finger Lakes Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
AZ U CHASE ME (11) has not appeared since he finished third over 1811m at this track (Dirt) on October 20. One of the genuine hopes in the race. MANDATORY (3) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was prominent at the bend before being beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1106m at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. EMERALD FOREST (1) is a distance specialist who turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1106m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DOC ADVANTAGE (2) won at this track and distance at his last outing seven months ago. One to consider.
