Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
CHASING COLTON (3) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 1408m at Charles Town (Dirt). Can improve and is a leading player on best figures. QUARANTINO (1) got home by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a fair record at this track with a win and six placings. Can measure up again. BECK'S SPIRIT (4) was always well out of his ground when 25 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1106m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at this track the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. GREEWHIZ (5) hasn't been able to break through for over a year, the latest finishing second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. In the mix.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently 5th of 8 at Charles Town on February 11 over 1408m, 5.5 len behind Skippy Town carrying 56kg at $5.60. The start before that second last of 9 at Charles Town on January 2 over 1710m, 32 len behind Big Dilemma with 56kg at $5.20. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
