Mahoning Valley Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

IMPROBABLE FIRST (1) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by 0.8 lengths over 1106m. Luis Raul Rivera who has two wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. HARBOUR BRIDGE (6) found plenty to score by 3 lengths three runs back at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. GAMBOLING GHOST (7) settled well back and never threatened when eighth over 1673m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Steps up a level but he is good enough to turn things around. JENNY'S BEIGNET (2) was beaten 22 lengths into ninth in a 1609m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Capable of featuring prominently.
