Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming

SWEET UNIQUE (7) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. AZ WE SPEAK (1) is back from a spell of eight months. Raced once last campaign and finished third over 1710m in Listed grade at Thistledown (Dirt). Has a superb record here at the journey with four wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. Among the leading chances. IMA MOM (10) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1673m at this track. Capable of playing a big role. LIONISTIC (2) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance. Something for the Multiples: LOFTY COWTOWN (9)
