Mahoning Valley Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

ATKINS (1) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1207m at this track when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Jay P Bernardini stable. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. PATRIARCHAL (3) made progress last start to finish third over 1609m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the talent to produce another positive result. DARK BARON (5) proved too strong last start and scored by 0.1 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this course and distance, including five wins. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. COLONEL VARGO (6) started at $2.40 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, at this track over 1207m. Should be poised just off the lead. Deserves respect on best figures. Something for the Multiples: COLONEL POPPY (2)
