Finger Lakes Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
THREE LITTLE BIRDS (1) hit the frame two starts ago at Aqueduct but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 7 lengths over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. AVA'S UNCLE BILLY (5) has three minor placings from three starts this time in work, the latest as favourite over 1609m at this track (Dirt). He is a real danger. MR SUGAR DADDY (2) scored at this track (Dirt) last time out with a nose in reserve at the end of 1207m. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. O Gomez sticks. Expected to measure up. MY COOL HAND LUKE (3) is back at the races for the first time since November 24. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1106m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.

Recent form sound. Last start ran second last in a small field at this track on July 7 over 1207m, 6 len behind Nyikos carrying 55.5kg at $4.76. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on June 1 over 1106m, 2.75 len behind Profitability with 55.5kg at $5.50. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
