Mahoning Valley Race 7

Howard B. Noonan S. Stakes

Stake: $131,789

LO BUG (5) Reeled them in to win last time around here and strong performer at this trip in the past. Made it 4 wins in a row. Will be motoring home late. One of the major hopes. BOOTS MALONE (1) Set the pace when winning by a margin of 6L last run at this venue and will appreciate a good stall. Should race on the speed. Respect in this company. SUPERWOLF (4) Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Expect to go close. RIGHT ON THE MUNNY (2) Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd beaten by just over 7L last run at this venue and promising career start. Drawn nicely. Include in chances.

Second run back. First-up after four months favourite; won by 6 len at this track March 18 over 1207m defeating Superwolf with 52.5kg at $2.20. Previously second-up 2nd of 7 at Belterra Park in LR on July 19 over 1106m, 6 len behind Fortissimo with 53.5kg at $4.90. Hard to tip against him on that sort of form.
