Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WILDCAT EXPRESS (5) Gave them all something to chase to win by nearly 15L last start around here. Should muster plenty of early toe. Added confidence with Jose A Bracho doing the steering. Can have an impact. THOUGHTTHATCOUNTS (2) Good effort to place 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last run here and will be well suited at the trip. David J Haldar and Megan Fadlovich deserve respect together. Goes very close. EDDIE M (3) Led all the way when winning by a margin of 8L last run around here and form has been improving over recent runs. Back to a shorter trip. Suited. P H FACTOR (4) On a quick back up. Disappointing outing when 9th last time at Turfway Park. Expecting improvement here but down in distance. Coming to a new trainer. Solid place bet prospects.

Led and was only run down late when 1.25L from Saint Goar at Mahoning Valley last time out. 1.25L from the winner in Allowance Optional grade race around here last start. 1.25L from the winner at this distance last time out. Ran really well last start and is a leading contender here.

Allowance winner last start when sat on speed and proved too strong at Mahoning Valley. Recent start Track and distance winner by 14.5l. Strong chance.
