Finger Lakes Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight

POPPY'S TICKET (8) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of three-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Aqueduct over 1308m. Well placed and happy to have him on top. SERRA (9) faced the starter for the first time and finished ninth last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 7 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. BABY MEANIE (6) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Can measure up again. TONY HOOKS (7) is a consistent performer with three minor placings from three starts this time in work. Finished 6 lengths from the winner in third last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 9th of 12 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on July 27 over 1609m, 7 len behind He's A Charmer with 54.5kg at $30.30. Likely to take a lot from that run and is worth following up.
