Mahoning Valley Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

FLORIDA GATOR (7) fought on for second last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. MSHINDI (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1106m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fifth. Has the class to figure prominently. BOLDNESS (6) last appeared eight weeks ago over 1673m at this track when he finished eighth. This is his first run for the Stephani Norris stable. Worth plenty of thought. SEE SPOT RUN (1) has not appeared since he finished sixth over 1609m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) on July 14. Makes plenty of appeal. Something for the Multiples: BONGINO (5)

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 49-day let-up. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on January 13 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Flowerpecker carrying 56kg at $6.20. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track on December 18 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Unpredictable Bay carrying 56kg at $15.60. Everything points towards a big run.
