Fort Erie Race 7

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: -

BINGO'S GRIND (2) Zipped home into 2nd beaten by 1L last start here and drawn nicely. Shows good finishing speed. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. Will go well. HALF TO RELOAD (6) Competed in a tight contest last run around here. Displays good tactical speed. Helen Marie Vanek is a key booking. Will give a big sight. KIDDIE HOLIDAY (1) Made considerable ground when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last time at the track and drawn beautifully. Can go through the gears. Showing positive results since returning from a break. Solid place bet prospects. RYE'S MY GUY (3) Finished hard to win last run at the track but taking on stronger competition. Not out of this.

Flashed home late into 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last time at this venue and gets a favourable draw. In fine form this preparation but challenged by more formidable competitors. Strong contender.

Did well to run into 2nd beaten by 1L last start at this track and has a positive draw. Should get going late. Facing a stronger class. Absolutely right in this.

Started at $14.00 and didn't attack the line when 4th last time at the track. Can make a comeback and up against weaker rivals. Could not recommend.
