Mahoning Valley Race 3

Allowance

Stake: -

HIPPY GILMORE (2) Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 2nd last start at Belterra Park and has a positive draw. Should be going forward early. Worth strong consideration. BUKELE (6) Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last start here but coming back in distance. Have to respect the recent Caryn Vecchio form. Can win this. KILLA CREED (3) Struggled with the pace when 10th last run at this venue. Looking for an improved run but will be dropping in distance. Matched against a stronger field. Solid place bet prospects. LUCKY FOR LIFE (5) Racing fresh after a break of 31 weeks. Didn't threaten when 5th last run around here. Happy to overlook that run but back to a shorter trip. Not out of this.

Gave plenty of cheek when 2nd last start at Belterra Park and drawn nicely. Displays good tactical speed. Has run into the money all attempts this campaign. Solid prospects.

Resumes after a spell of 31 weeks. Odds of $5.50 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last run around here. Happy to overlook that run. Down in distance. Value runner at good odds.

Started $5.00 and didn't find the line when 6th last run at the track. Expecting improvement but back to a shorter distance. Up against a more competitive field. Nice chance at a very tempting price.
