Fort Erie Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

A LA CARTE (1) proved too strong last start and scored by 5 lengths over 1207m at this track. Boasts three wins here. Leo Salles who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Best form puts him right in this. BINGO'S GRIND (2) could only manage fifth on dirt over 1207m at this track two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1609m at Fort Erie Turf more recently. Record at this track is strong. Leading contender. CANTUCCI (3) had been rock-solid with three placings in a row before finishing fifth over 1006m at this track last start. Form here over this distance is very good with a win and three minor placings from four starts. One to consider. COMMANDER JOE (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out.

Form hard to fault. Most recently came from midfield and won by 5 len at this track on August 11 over 1207m defeating Bill Needle with 56kg at $2.95. Before that 4th of 7 at this track on July 20 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Where Is Essa carrying 56kg at $6.80. No reason he cannot salute again.

Last start settled back and ran on when 7th of 10 at Fort Erie Turf on July 27 over 1609m, 4 len behind Graffiti Writer with 56kg at $22.70.
