Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

GUNNER GABRIEL (11) was a most impressive winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths. Has a solid record at this journey with seven wins from 18 starts and looks a top chance. C V JERSEY BEE (10) went fast early over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when resuming last time and dug deep to score by 3 lengths. Should go forward from the awkward gate. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. ELLIOT THE DRAGON (9) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways. SPIRIT OF AKRON (7) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Proving a good combination with Deshawn L Parker with three straight placings. Among the top-three hopes. Something for the Multiples: PARTY POOPER (5)
