Finger Lakes Race 3 - New York Oaks Stakes
VENETTA (5) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1408m at Listed level at Saratoga (Dirt), getting home by 1.3 lengths. Tackling an easier race so she is a major player again. IRISH FORTUNE (1) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done again. CARELESS WHISPER (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 10 lengths over 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and she cannot be discounted. VICTORY HALL (4) is a talented filly who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1408m at Listed level at Saratoga (Dirt). Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from four starts. Deserves respect on her best figures.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at Aqueduct on April 30 over 1207m, nose behind Venetta carrying 55kg at $4.58. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 10 len at Saratoga June 4 over 1408m defeating Into The Unknown with 55kg at $2.31. Should be right in the finish.
