Fort Erie Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming
VICTORY MARCH (9) returns from a break of six-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a seventh over 1408m at Woodbine. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. VALLEY VICTORY (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at Woodbine, beaten 10 lengths. Strips fitter and can take this out. BLUE MAX (4) last appeared when he finished fourth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) on April 1. Definite top-three chance. HICKSY (6) last appeared a month ago over 1308m at Woodbine when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Joseph Humber stable.
