Fort Erie Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

FAIRWAY TO HEAVEN (6) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 1006m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. HEAT MERCHANT (1) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 8 lengths as favourite over 1308m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. AWE INSPIRED (2) is backing up seven days after finishing second over 1207m at this track. Good effort last start and is among the winning hopes. GALVASTON (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1006m at Fort Erie Turf, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.

The run before that 4th in a small field at this track on September 21 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Cantucci with 55.5kg at $9.40. Can improve again. Top chance.
