MOMMA K'S BOY (2) Back after break of 30 weeks. Attacked the line when 3rd last run at the track and drawn nicely. Winnable race. PLAYING FOR KEEPS (5) Even though peaking on the run still grabbed 3rd last run at Mahoning Valley. Expecting to settle positively. Placed at every start this campaign. Respect. RUN RED RUN (6) Looked outclassed when 4th last time at Mahoning Valley. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Should race on the speed. Include in chances. RED CHILI PEPPER (1) First up from a break of 15 weeks and romped home to win first up last preparation here. Rocco Bowen takes the reins today and has the ideal alley. Worth some thought.
