Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
RAR (8) was in the money two starts back at Penn National then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1106m at Penn National (Dirt). Tough to beat on best. Can open winning account. BOZAANO (2) met with solid support last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 5 lengths. Worth another chance. GAME MAKER (9) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Another big run expected. SPRINGS (11) was beaten 11 lengths into sixth in a 1006m contest at Mountaineer Park last time out. Nicely placed to find some form.
