Mahoning Valley Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
SPECTACULAR TANGO (7) has not appeared since racing on the speed on debut and finishing second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on November 11. Likely improver and looks well placed to be in the finish again. DOLLAR DANCE (2) is a 13-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the turn. Steps up a level but she is good enough to figure in the finish. CITY BLAZE (3) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of ten weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has ability and is a leading player. TAMPA TEACHER (5) resumes in a similar race to her last run 12 weeks ago when fourth, beaten 14 lengths. One to consider.
