Mahoning Valley Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

NATIONAL DIAMOND (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CAUSE OF LOVE (2) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing third, beaten one length, over today's trip at this track (Dirt). Worth noting Angel I Diaz goes aboard. Likely improver with bright prospects. HELLO SWEETS (6) proved too strong last start and scored by half a length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Boasts three wins here. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. SHANGHAI DELIGHT (4) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1106m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at this track on December 16 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Hello Sweets carrying 56kg at $2.30. The race before that ran last of 7 at this track on December 1 over 1106m, 6 len behind Work'n On A Buzz carrying 56kg at $23.20. Can improve again. Top chance.
