Fort Erie Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

A LA CARTE (2) has been racing well this prep, scoring last start over 1207m at this track to make it three wins from five runs this time in. Has a strong record here, including four wins. Will prove tough to beat. BINGO'S GRIND (6) met with solid support last start over 1207m at this track when fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Form at this track is solid. Among the leading chances. CANTUCCI (7) was in contention on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1207m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ERNIE'S MARTINI (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1006m. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
