Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

WILLIE BIRD (2) impressed last time with a 2.25 lengths win at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over this journey. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. RUFFIN (6) resumes in a similar race to his last run three-and-a-half months ago when fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Looks a winning chance. SCRIMPER (7) is having his first run since August 14. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 1207m at this track at the start of last prep. Likely to take beating. TRIGGER POINT (3) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at this track (Dirt) before finishing second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims.
