Mahoning Valley Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
INSTIGATION (5) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 5.5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt) to make it five victories in a row. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LIONISTIC (4) missed the placings last time out over this distance at this track (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at seven of 14 starts. Sure to be there at the business end. NATIONAL DIAMOND (3) was a dominant winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 3 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from four starts. Looks one of the prime contenders. FLASHY N (8) improved last start to finish second over 1207m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.

Great chance to win again.

Returns from a 53-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 7 at this track on December 18 over 1207m, 7 len behind Instigation carrying 56kg at $8.50. The start before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at this track on November 12 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Mizzen The Point carrying 56kg at $10.80. Other runners are much more appealing.
