Fort Erie Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

STIRLING CASTLE (5) showed good pace over 1207m at this track last time and went on to score by 0.8 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. ALWAYS A WAY (2) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1308m at Woodbine All Weather, making it two minor placings in a row. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. HEAT MERCHANT (3) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1408m at Fort Erie Turf, making it two minor placings in a row. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. FOREST FLASH (4) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 2.5 lengths over 1207m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Not raced for 36 days. First-up favourite; won by a 0.3 len at Mountaineer Park May 10 over 1207m defeating Zealous Storm carrying 54.5kg at $2.80. Second run from a spell favourite; won by 0.8 len at this track June 14 over 1207m defeating Cooler Man carrying 55.5kg at $1.80. Fitter and should relish the step up to 1308m.
