Fort Erie Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
VIDEO EVIDENCE (4) disappointed last time when ninth over 1207m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) after a close second at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) the run prior. Looks better placed over this shorter trip so looks a leading contender. KENTUCKY BILL (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 12 lengths when sixth over 1710m at Woodbine All Weather a week-and-a-half ago. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. A LA CARTE (5) finds it hard to win with two victories from 26 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1006m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. MAGICAL CHAMPAGNE (3) finished fifth at this track and distance at his last appearance nine months ago. Sure to make his presence felt.
