Parx Racing Race 9 - 6F Stakes
N Y FINEST (1) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Has ability and is one of the leading chances. GOLD IN MY HANDS (3) has started twice, missing the frame on debut then doing a better job to finish third last time, beaten 4 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Good chance to break through. PSALMIST (2) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. FINAL JOKE (7) finished midfield on debut last time out, safely held 20 lengths from the winner over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Will take a lot from that hitout and should do much better.
