Mahoning Valley Race 2

Allowance

Prize Money: $37,553

LIL TRICK (2) scored two back at Belterra Park (Dirt) but was below his best last time when eighth over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). Has the class to figure prominently. REDACTED (6) settled well back and never came on when resuming last start, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths over 1308m at Charles Town (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. DISTANT GALAXY (5) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by half a length over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt) last start. Becerra Fernando Salazar stays on. One of the main contenders. CALL SHADD (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Thistledown (Dirt) over 1207m. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 41 day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Thistledown on September 23 over 1207m, 2 len behind Drury Lane carrying 54.5kg at $3.90. Before that raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 8 at Thistledown on August 31 over 1207m, 6 len behind Jimmy Rules with 54.5kg at $6.70. Not far away of late. Worth including.

Second-up. First-up after three months ran second last of 8 at Charles Town on October 8 over 1308m, 6 len behind Road Minister with 55.5kg at $4.40. Previously second-up ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Monmouth Park on June 27 over 1207m, nose behind My Man Money carrying 55kg at $2.20. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
