Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
PRINCESS AZARA (6) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth after being prominent at the bend at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. HERO QUEEN (5) improved last start to finish third over 1106m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. FLASH FREEZE (4) stepped out for her debut over 1207m at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic) back on July 14 and finished seventh, beaten 30 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply. OLIVE ON TOP (3) was beaten 15 lengths into sixth over 1006m at this track at her latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
