Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight

FORMYBOYS (4) Didn't threaten when 5th last run at Thistledown. Looking past the last run. Has plenty of early speed. Rates a winning chance. VERNON'S BEST (7) Gave away some ground when 4th last run at Thistledown. Has the potential to improve sharply. Serious contender. FORT GRANDE (6) Was found wanting late when 3rd last start at Thistledown and solid career start. Should come to hand quickly. Showing great form this campaign. One of the better chances. INDY'S HOPE (8) Did well to run into 3rd last start at Thistledown. Will be trying to topple them late. One at a bit of odds
