Fort Erie Race 3

Allowance

Stake: -

HEARD A GHOST (1) On a quick turnaround. Strong run when placing 2nd beaten by 2L last start at this track and has drawn the rails. Form has been improving over recent runs. Looks promising in this race. RHUMBABA (2) Looked outclassed when 6th last time at this venue. Should improve and back over extra ground. Leo Salles and Nick Guy Mileni Jr link well together. Has a good draw. Winnable race. DROP YOUR GLOVES (3) Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at the track and going over extra ground. Possesses good finishing speed. Serious player. LUMBERYARD (6) Did well to run into 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start at this track and back to a rise in trip. Jockey Helen Marie Vanek is a plus. Looks to be value.

On a short back up. Picked up late ground when 2nd beaten by 2L last start around here and drawn beautifully. Shows good closing speed. Must respect.

At $5.80 was well beaten when 6th last time at this track. Should improve and coming back up in distance. Can find a nice position from the draw. Capable of winning this.

Ran home into 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run around here and racing over more ground. Kevin Buttigieg stable are in good form of late. Finishes off strongly. One that represents value at a decent price.

Back from a break of 29 weeks. Right up there last start at Woodbine but up against tougher competition. Should be going forward early. A threat to the other main hopes.

Backs up quickly. Was $7.50 and ran 4th last start at the track. Always seems to find the line well. Seems unlikely.

Attacked the line when 2nd last start at this track and back to an increased distance. Jockey Helen Marie Vanek is a strong choice aboard. One of the punters top hopes.
