Mahoning Valley Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
BIG AMADEUS (3) finished 5.5 lengths behind the winner in third over 1106m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Should camp just off the leaders. Best figures should see him run well. PARADE OF FEARS (5) went fast early and went on to score by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. HARBOUR BRIDGE (1) improved last time out, finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. GAMBOLING GHOST (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; won by 1.3 len at this track March 9 over 1106m defeating A La Carte carrying 57kg at $1.20. The start before that favourite; won by 4 len at this track February 17 over 1106m defeating J J Valentin with 56kg at $2.80. Looks perfectly placed to score in this small field.
