Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

MAGICAL MONARCH (3) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing second, beaten 2 lengths, over today's trip at this track (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. ZIMBA WARRIOR (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Second up record is sound. Fitter and sure to run well. TOAST TO COAST (7) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten only half a length after being in the firing line on the corner. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. ERNIE'S MARTINI (1) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at this track. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.
