Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Ratings Handicap
BIG LUCKY (2) showed good pace over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 0.8 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. EXTRADITION (1) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on three consecutive occasions, before finishing fourth last time out over 1609m at this track. L A Batista sticks. Bold showing expected. EKATI'S WAY (7) found a couple better last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was prominent at the corner. Form over this journey is strong, boasting four wins from eight starts. Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. FIVEFIVE SIX CHAMP (8) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 2.5 lengths last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Reunites with Erik Barbaran who has seven wins from 11 rides. Among the top-three hopes.

Racing second-up today. Last run second last in a small field at this track on March 17 over 1609m, 8 len behind Chiron with 56kg at $6.40. At only start last preparation sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Mountaineer Park on November 23 over 1207m, 3 len behind Captivated Drama carrying 56kg at $4.30. Unlikely to threaten.
