Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
MORE THAN FIVE (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1207m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. AIR SHOW (2) finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track a month ago. Steps up in journey today. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. STOMPING MOON (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the bend. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. FIREWATER JAKE (7) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish fifth over 1673m at this track (Dirt) after he was in contention on the turn. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task.

Comes off a 36 day let-up. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at this track on January 6 over 1609m, 5 len behind Only Get'n Better with 56kg at $2. Before that won by 12 len at this track December 8 over 1609m defeating Kykeon carrying 56kg at $3.80. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 9 at this track on January 5 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Reinvest with 57kg at $9.30. The start before that 5th of 12 at Turfway Park on December 27 over 1207m, 4 len behind Empire's Best carrying 54.5kg at $8.15. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
