Fort Erie Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

BINGO'S GRIND (1) has switched yards since finishing second two weeks ago over 1207m at this track. Can make an immediate impact for the new mentor. BLUE MAX (5) was out of the money first-up but has since placed two on end and looks close to a win, the latest effort a second over 1308m at this track. Kirk Johnson stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Best form puts him right in this. CANTUCCI (2) last appeared two weeks ago over 1207m at this track when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Alan Bird stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. BONGINO (3) is back from a break of nine weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when sixth over 1207m at this track. Leo Salles who has three wins when partnering stays on. Solid claims on best form.
