Finger Lakes Race 7

Claiming

Prize Money: $19,526

STARSHIP TANGO (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1006m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to make amends. G MUNNING (6) has been about the money with two minor placings from three runs this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should be prominent from the outset. Will give a great sight. FATHER WALSH (2) is back after a break of six months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 905m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. BUSTINO SANTINO (3) returns after a spell of seven months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
