Fort Erie Race 5

Claiming

Stake: -

HOT OMELET (6) Won by a huge margin of 4 1/4L last time around here but competing at a higher class. Jockey Michael David and trainer Joshua Robillard form a proven partnership. Capable of taking this out. LITTLE IRIS (1) Didn't find the line when 5th last time at this venue. Can make a comeback and drawn beautifully. Facing formidable rivals. Top prospects against this opposition. CANDID CANDACE (4) Stormed home to win last time at this venue but challenged by a tougher grade. Shows good finishing speed. Getting better in recent performances. Suitably placed in this race. BELLA CLASSICA (5) On a short turnaround. Mediocre attempt when 6th last start at this track but taking on easier opposition. Not out of this.

Started at $4.25 and was well beaten when 5th last time at this venue. Can make a comeback and has drawn the rails. Matched against a stronger field. Should give this a shake.

Jumped at $27.00 and gave away some ground when 10th last run at this venue but has a positive draw. Likely to settle back in the field. Hard to entertain.

Reeled them in when winning last time at the track but up against tougher rivals. Will be trying to topple them late. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Has strong claims.

Backs up quickly. Odds of $11.00 and appeared lacklustre when 6th last start at the track but up against a less challenging field. Could take this out.

Was $27.00 and unimpressive effort when 6th last start at the track and challenged by more formidable competitors. Much prefer the look of others in this race.
