Mahoning Valley Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance

BROTHER RICE (1) is back from a spell of 11 weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1207m at Penn National (Dirt). Comes to hand quickly so a bold showing is expected. TRIGGER POINT (2) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 2.25 lengths. L A Batista has registered two minor placings when on board. Bold showing expected. RAMSEY (4) is a distance specialist who turned things around last start and scored by 2.25 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. DON'T STOP (3) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be about the money again.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at this track on December 22 over 1207m, on a wet track; 2.25 len behind Golden Flag carrying 56kg at $3.30. Before that 2nd in a small field at this track on November 17 over 1207m, 0.1 len behind Win Herbie Win with 55.5kg at $9.60. Sure to be right there at the business end.
