Mahoning Valley Race 7

Allowance

Stake: $46,089

RUFFIN (1) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track (Dirt) over 1006m after he was prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. THUNDERIAN (7) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1006m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 1.75 lengths. Reunites with Alexander Chavez which is a proven winning combination. Sure to play a big role. DON'T STOP (5) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success as public elect over 1207m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. BOLD BUCKEYE (2) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
