Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance
MITOCHONDRIA (4) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m, beaten half a length. Cherry-ripe now. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from three starts. Expected to feature. SHORTSTOP (5) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 11 lengths into eighth over 1609m at Turfway Park. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. ESSENTIAL WILD CAT (3) resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1106m at Belterra Park. Makes plenty of appeal. SCAREDY CATNESS (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Should be thereabouts.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th in a small field at this track on March 6 over 1609m, 6 len behind Globetrotting carrying 52.5kg at $18.90. The run before that won by 3 len at this track February 10 over 1106m defeating Fast Talkin Man carrying 53.5kg at $6.70. No excuses today in this small field.

Second run back. First-up after two months ran last of 8 at Turfway Park on March 5 over 1609m, 11 len behind Hope Joe's Right carrying 56.5kg at $4.53. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 at Keeneland on October 19 2024 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Uncle William with 56kg at $5.32. Improvement likely and looks a big chance.
