Finger Lakes Race 3 - Aspirant S. Stakes
D I WIRE (4) finished fifth last time out over 1207m at Saratoga, beaten 12 lengths. Hard to go past. COVERED OPTION (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 8 lengths over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is worth including. ALL ABOUT SOUL (3) ran a fair race on debut last time out, beaten 10 lengths into seventh over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) on August 6. Fitter and is among the chances. BIG POPPY (6) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by 0.3 lengths over 1006m here last time. Worth including.
