Mahoning Valley Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Optional Claiming

DEFENDING ALBERT (6) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a ninth at Turfway Park (Synthetic) two starts back then got the job done by 0.8 lengths as public elect last time out after being in the firing line on the corner over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MIGHTY LES (4) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. FIVEFIVE SIX CHAMP (1) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 1.5 lengths as public elect last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). B Tapara scored on him last time and retains the mount. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SAINT GOAR (2) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, clocking in 5.5 lengths from the winner. Has solid form at this circuit, scoring on six occasions from 18 starts. Should be involved in the finish.

Recent form sound. At the latest run won by 1.5 len at this track March 4 over 1207m defeating Trigger Point carrying 56kg at $1.90. Before that 2nd in a small field at this track on February 12 over 1207m, 0.3 len behind Thru The Vine with 56kg at $3.60. No reason he cannot salute again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th in a small field at this track on March 3 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Mighty Les with 56kg at $15.40. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track on January 14 over 1207m, 2 len behind Baxley carrying 56kg at $5.60. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of four-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign third in a small field at this track November 6 over 1609m, 1.1 len behind Charleston carrying 56kg at $11.20. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.3 len Oaklawn Park March 16 2025 over 1207m defeating Aaron carrying 56kg at $6.90. Certainly one to consider.
