Mahoning Valley Race 1

MEGASTAR (3) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 1106m at this track (Dirt) seven weeks ago, getting home by 8 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. EL MUCHACHO ALEGRE (5) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish one length away in second at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. CARNIVAL ROCK (2) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his debut win over 1106m at Thistledown to kick off last prep. Will be hard to stop. BIG PRANKSTER (6) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
