Mahoning Valley Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
LORDBETWENTOTHORNS (7) is still a maiden after eight starts. Managed to find the placings at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing seventh over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time. Terrific chance to break through. QUALITY KISS (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 14 lengths. Strips fitter and can bounce back. SKIPTHEGUILTTRIP (8) is yet to break through in 12 runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on December 16 after he was well back on straightening. Expected to feature in the finish this time. DONALD'S NATION (5) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Manuel Vlaun yard. Finished off last campaign with a sixth at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) four-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks well placed. Shapes as a top-three chance.
