Fort Erie Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
FOUR BEACH FRIENDS (7) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1006m at Fort Erie. Looks well placed and he is likely to feature in the finish again. LUMBERYARD (5) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a third at this track over 1408m. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will be tough to stop. DOADSTER (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 21 when beaten 1.1 lengths into fourth at this track over 1006m. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. LET'S GO LIAM (1) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest eighth at this track over 1408m. Expecting improvement.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 30-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 7 at this track on June 21 over 1006m, 1.1 len behind Very Debonaire with 55.5kg at $3.35. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on June 14 over 1006m, 1.3 len behind Tiernan carrying 55.5kg at $3.35. Showed enough last start to suggest he can take this out.

Returns from a 30-day let-up. At the latest run ran second last of 7 at this track on June 21 over 1006m, 6 len behind Very Debonaire with 56kg at $4.90. Before that scored a big 4.5 len win at this track June 14 over 1006m defeating Arctic Velocity with 55.5kg at $2.80. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

Racing well recently. Last start 3rd in a small field at this track on July 7 over 1408m, 2 len behind Heard A Ghost with 55.5kg at $3.55. The race before that 2nd of 7 at this track on June 21 over 1006m, 0.8 len behind Very Debonaire carrying 55.5kg at $2.60. Could easily blow them away in the dying stages.

Second-up. Comes off a 51-day let-up. First-up after three months won by 1.5 len at Fort Erie May 31 over 1006m defeating Astin Style with 55.5kg at $2.65. Previously second-up ran second last in a small field at Gulfstream Park All Weather on August 8 over 1006m, 10 len behind Captain Eddie carrying 56kg at $6.80. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.
