Fort Erie Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance

SHORT STORY LONG (1) encountered a dirt track for the first time last start and made it back-to-back wins when successful over 1308m at this track, scoring by a nose. Amanda Vandermeersch has been the pilot at his last two wins. Best form puts him right in this. FOREST FLASH (3) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1207m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and looks a big threat to the top selection. RYE'S MY GUY (5) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1308m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. THE DREAM LISTENER (2) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 2 lengths to spare over 1106m at this track. Do not underestimate.
