Mahoning Valley Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
FIVEFIVE SIX CHAMP (3) showed good speed over 1207m at this track (Dirt) and finished in the money, not far from the winner. Should camp just off the leaders. Expected to be in the finish. TRIGGER POINT (1) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.1 lengths as favourite over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to go back-to-back. REINVEST (2) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths starting at $8.40. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Worth noting Anthony Rodriguez goes aboard. Likely improver with strong prospects. THRU THE VINE (4) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by 0.3 lengths over 1207m. Cannot be underestimated.
