Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
J J VALENTIN (6) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when 0.3 lengths away in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Fitter and should be in the finish. QUARANTINO (11) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 20 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1207m at this track. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. PARADE OF FEARS (5) lines up for the first time since August 27. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1207m at Keeneland. Has to be respected. NASTINATE (12) ran a better race last start, finishing 5 lengths away in fifth over 1207m at Turfway Park. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
