Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

SAMMY'S SMILE (4) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by one length over 1673m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins from eight runs. Leading player again. INDIAN FEVER (2) wasn't far away in his two starts prior to sub-par fifth last time out over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Can bounce back. INTO GOLD (6) settled well back last time out before finishing fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Strong record with L A Batista aboard, including three wins. Has winning claims on best figures. NEED TO KNOW BASIS (5) was beaten 3 lengths into fourth in a 1207m contest at this track last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
