Mahoning Valley Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

THE SHOE LADY (8) started at $4.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 22 lengths at Finger Lakes (Dirt) over 1609m. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. SACRED CONNECTION (6) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third after she got a long way back in the run over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. SHIELDMEWITHPRAYER (3) was an emphatic winner last time over 1673m at this track (Dirt) with today's rider Erik Barbaran engaged. Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. MALICED (1) strung wins together then has filled minor placings at her last couple, most recently when beaten 5 lengths into third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
