Mahoning Valley Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

OKLAHOMA JOE (4) turned in a sub-par run last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. NEED TO KNOW BASIS (5) got home by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has three wins here. Winning hope again. RELISH THE RIDE (1) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.75 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with two wins and three minor placings from 10 starts. Strong winning hope again. WETZEL (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. Something for the Multiples: MR LOOOCH (2)
