Finger Lakes Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
ALWAYS PACKEN (6) finished second last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it four career minor placings. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this venue. Ideally placed to open his account. START THE DAY (2) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. SUNSHINE BOBALOU (3) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. MR POOLS (4) raced once in the maiden preparation when eighth at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf) over 1207m back on June 27. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.
