Finger Lakes Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
SHELLAC (4) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1207m at this track. Will prove tough to beat. LIV HAS RIZZ (3) improved sharply on his eighth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1207m at this track (Dirt) eight days ago, getting home by a nose. Worth noting Andre Shivnarine Worrie goes aboard. Looks well placed so expect another big run. RAISULI (5) finds it hard to win with two victories from 20 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1207m at this track. Likely contender with strong prospects. HARD PERFORMER (6) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 9 lengths as favourite last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run.

At the latest run eased back early on 3rd in a small field at this track on October 20 over 1106m, 2.75 len behind Last Drink carrying 55.5kg at $23.84. The race before that ran second last of 9 at this track on October 13 over 1207m, 15 len behind Three Little Birds with 51.5kg at $107.82. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
