Fort Erie Race 8

Claiming

Stake: -

HALF TO RELOAD (2) Led and controlled the pace when winning by 4 1/2L last run at this track and has a good draw. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Will give a big sight. SOUPER ICONIC (3) On a short back up. Ran home strongly to win last time at this track but challenged by a tougher grade. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. Can measure up to this company. KIDDIE HOLIDAY (6) Folded up in the straight when 4th last start around here. Can make a comeback but up against a higher level of opposition. Possesses good closing speed. Can make a claim. MIA AND ME (4) Narrowly beaten last time at this track but up against tougher rivals. Performing impressively since returning from a break and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Worth a ticket.

Set the pace to win by 4 1/2L last run at the track and has a positive draw. Has plenty of early speed. Win will not surprise.

Was agonizingly close last time at this track but racing against tougher rivals. Has run into the money regularly this campaign and displaying improvement over the past few runs. In the mix against these.

Made every post a winner when winning by 1L last time at Woodbine but facing a stronger group of contenders. Has a nice turn of foot. Down in trip. Minor claims.

At $4.50 lost ground in the run home when 4th last start at this venue. Can make a comeback but racing in stronger company. Will be hitting the line strongly. Has definite claims.
