Mahoning Valley Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Allowance
THAT'S THE WAY (4) Charged home to win last start here but dropping back to a shorter trip. Erik Barbaran has been successful previously. Stable is in form. Expected to be flashing home. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. EAGLE NEST (1) Set the tempo when winning by more than 6L last time at this track and gets a favourable barrier. Appears well in this. GOLDEN MONEY (7) Made some ground late when 3rd beaten by 3 1/2L last time at this track but coming back in distance. Good to see Angel I Diaz is jumping on. Respect against this field. RAISE THE PURSES (3) On a quick turnaround. Faded to finish 6th last run here. May see an upturn in form. Jose A Bracho and Saul M Morales deserve serious attention as a team. Include in chances.

Ordinary effort behind Elliot The Dragon when a well beaten 16L 6th at Mahoning Valley last time out. 16L from the winner in class race at this track last start. Ran over this distance last time out when 16L from the winner. Suited at this trip. Goes in everything.

Impressed last start when leading all the way at Mahoning Valley. Won by three-quarters of a length last time out. Loves this circuit. On a a roll if he wins this, it'll be his 3rd in a row. Hard to beat.
