Mahoning Valley Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming

PAY ZONE (4) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 2.25 lengths. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. EDDIE M (7) is a eight-time winner who has been racing in great heart, scoring by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1609m at this track. Races well here and is right in contention. BAXLEY (6) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 3.5 lengths away in sixth over 1811m at Listed level at Hawthorne (Turf) on October 6 2024. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One to consider. FIVEFIVE SIX CHAMP (3) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders.
