Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance

STOMPING MOON (8) turned in a fine effort to score by 2.25 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Has the ability to maintain the momentum. ILLINI (6) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1106m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Won't find this as tough so he is all set to build on that latest effort. ABSOLUTE GRIT (2) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Distance specialist with five wins and 11 minor placings from 24 runs and shapes as one to consider. EL ROSILLO (3) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1106m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign fourth of 7 at this track November 19 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Little Vaquero with 56kg at $15.10. Previous preparation first-up to post a big 3 len win. This track January 28 2025 over 1207m defeating Call Me Gusto carrying 56kg at $2.90. This looks too tough.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 39-day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at this track on February 1 over 1106m, 1.0 len behind Ismybusiness with 56kg at $3. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on January 5 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Reinvest carrying 56kg at $6.40. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th in a small field at this track on March 2 over 1207m, 7 len behind Smokin' Hot carrying 57kg at $5.30. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at this track February 12 over 1106m defeating Smokin' Hot carrying 56kg at $4.60. Can do a lot better than that last run.

At the latest run raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at this track on February 17 over 1207m, 2.25 len behind El Rosillo with 56kg at $5.10. The run before that 4th in a small field at this track on January 15 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Thunderian carrying 54kg at $4.50. Might just find this a bit too tough.
