Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

KICKSTART (2) fought on for third last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when he gave away a big start on the bend, making it two minor placings in a row. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LAST MINUTE MIKEY (3) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as favourite over 1207m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SPECTACULAR D'ORO (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Strips fitter and can feature. MAGIC MOTOWN (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
