Fort Erie Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
BACK TO REALITY (5) gave a great sight when resuming last time over 905m at Finger Lakes when he raced up on the pace and fought on gamely only to be narrowly beaten. Has a strong record here at this journey with two wins from six starts. Best form puts him right in this. FOREST FLASH (1) is back from a spell of eight months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1207m at this track. Has found a suitable race to kick off the campaign. SOUPER ICONIC (2) returns from a layoff of six months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1207m at Woodbine All Weather. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. STAR SCHOLAR (4) is back at the races for the first time since November 7. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1207m at this track. Definite top-three chance.

Gelding back from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break.
