Mahoning Valley Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

ILIKETHAT (7) finished 14 lengths behind the winner in ninth place when resuming over 1207m last start at this track (Dirt). Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Can improve sharply. LUST FOR LIFE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 10 lengths into fifth. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. ELLIOT THE DRAGON (2) was last at the races when he finished fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on December 4. Looks a strong top-three prospect. EL MARRO (3) produced another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1207m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.

At the latest run 7th of 9 at this track on January 15 over 1207m, 12 len behind Aint No Bandleader with 56kg at $8. The start before that second last in a small field at this track on December 20 over 1673m, on heavy track; 15 len behind Relish The Ride carrying 56kg at $15.20. This looks too tough.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Freshened for 48 days. Resuming didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 7 at this track on November 3 over 1006m, 9 len behind Holiday House with 56kg at $38. Last start second last of 7 at this track on December 19 over 1207m, 15 len behind Henry Mac carrying 56kg at $44.20. Genuine chance this time around.
