Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
SMOKIN' HOT (2) went fast early over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time and dug deep to score by 2.5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TONIGHT (4) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 16 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. TIME THE AVENGER (7) is a distance specialist who was in the firing line on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1207m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BOUDIN (6) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 1.75 lengths back in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat.

Form hard to fault. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on March 6 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Ramsey carrying 56kg at $3.10. The race before that won by 1.5 len at this track February 24 over 1106m defeating Collectorate with 56kg at $2.80. Cannot be ruled out.
