Mahoning Valley Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance

DETERRENT (1) started at $4.60 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 13 lengths, at Laurel over 1408m. Deserves another chance. MOR STORMY (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 7 lengths away in second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when he was in the firing line all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LITTLE SHANCE (3) resumes from a spell of seven months and is having his first outing under new trainer Eric R Reed. Finished seventh at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) over 1106m at the opening run last time in work. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. VESPER MARTINI (4) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. One of the main hopes.
