Mahoning Valley Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
LORD RIPLEY (3) closed last prep 11 weeks ago when he finished sixth over 1710m at Turfway Park. Will be hard to beat. LOOKIN LIKE LUCKY (2) is a 15-start maiden who looks close to that elusive win after finishing in the placings at the last couple of runs, most recently when second over 1609m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Leading contender. BRIARCLIFF (5) was close to a maiden win before a three-and-a-half months break, finishing off with a placing over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Jockey Andrew Ramgeet back aboard. Has ability and is a leading player. LORD BARANOF (7) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 18 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Should be about the money. Something for the Multiples: LAO WAY (1)

At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on March 11 over 1609m, 5 len behind Runningonhighlevel carrying 57kg at $9.40. The run before that ran last in a small field at Gulfstream Park on February 12 over 1609m, 35 len behind Nice Try Riley with 51.5kg at $85.50. Hard to recommend on recent form.
