Fort Erie Race 2

Mdn Claiming

Stake: -

SILENT MORT (5) Ran well when 2nd last time here. Should be going forward early. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. Jockey Helen Marie Vanek adds value. This looks suitable and must be respected. SMARTER STILL (3) On a quick turnaround. Faded to finish 7th last start at Woodbine. Has the potential to improve sharply but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Include in chances. HATRIXIE MOMENT (4) Racing fresh after a break of 45 weeks. Good performance to run into 3rd last run at Woodbine. Will be trying to topple them late. Not out of this. FRAC CITY (1) Was nothing special when 5th last start here but has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Expecting to settle positively. Needs to lift.

Not up to scratch when 5th last start at this track but drawn the rails. Should race on the speed. Hard to entertain.

Odds of $27.00 and only fair when 7th last time at this venue but drawn nicely. Likely to get back in the field. Hard to recommend.

On a short turnaround. Jumped at $12.00 and looked outclassed when 7th last start at Woodbine. Has the potential to improve sharply but back to a shorter distance. Will not be far away.

First run back from a break of 45 weeks. Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd last run at Woodbine. Should be swooping on the field late. Has a credible chance.
