Mahoning Valley Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
HITE (2) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1207m at this track (Dirt) a month ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Likely to be there at the finish again. RAVEN MOON (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Won't find this as tough so he is ready to find the winners' list. OAKS HONEY (3) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.5 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has eight wins here. Jose A Bracho who has two wins when partnering stays on. One of the main contenders. ORVILLE B (5) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 4 lengths back in fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three prospects.
