Fort Erie Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

WHERE IS ESSA (2) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1207m at this track. Can improve sharply. CANTUCCI (4) made progress last start to finish third over 1006m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. COMMANDER JOE (5) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 1006m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. BONGINO (3) returns from a spell of four months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fifth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Change of rider to Leo Salles who has three wins when aboard. Worth including in calculations.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran second last in a small field at this track on June 14 over 1006m, 4 len behind Attestation carrying 56kg at $5.05. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Mahoning Valley on February 25 over 1207m, 17 len behind Jedi's Way with 57kg at $8.60. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.
