Mahoning Valley Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

INSTIGATION (2) has scored at her last five starts, most recently by 5.5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). That continued the very strong form this campaign, with five wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Leading player again. SHE'S CRAFTY (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fifth. Won't find this as tough so she will be hard to beat. CAUSE OF LOVE (3) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in the firing line on the turn before finishing third over 1207m at this track, beaten one length. Finds a tougher race but she has the talent to test this line-up. NATIONAL DIAMOND (7) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1207m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to take this out.
