Fort Erie Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming

GRAINGER COUNTY (5) finished 3.5 lengths back in fifth on all weather two back at Woodbine. Missed the frame again last time out on turf at Woodbine over 1006m nine days ago. Right at home on dirt and worth another try. SEA TO AIR (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 704m at Ajax Downs. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. HALF TO RELOAD (4) showed good early pace last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MISTER BANJOMAN (2) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 0.8 lengths at his most recent appearance when second over 1207m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Should give backers a sight.
