Finger Lakes Race 5 analysis: pace, price and connections

Fast Amendment is the 7-2 morning-line favorite, with Beck's Dreamer next at 4-1. Prices stretch out to 20-1 on Cruising Cat, so the board has real depth.

Jose Merced sends out 2 runners (Doha Desert and Flat Cap), which tells you the barn thinks the conditions suit.
