Mahoning Valley Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

LIONISTIC (1) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths starting at $9.20. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. INSTIGATION (5) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on March 12 over 1207m when she got home by 4 lengths. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. SHE'S CRAFTY (3) was a gutsy winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1.3 lengths to make it two wins in succession. Has a formidable combination with Angel I Diaz who has been aboard for her last two wins. Expected to measure up. SHEZ SHACKED UP (2) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.

Second run back. First-up after five months 3rd in a small field at this track on March 16 over 1207m, 5 len behind She's Crafty with 54kg at $7.80. Previously second-up 4th in a small field at Thistledown on August 11 over 1106m, 11 len behind The Devil's Dream carrying 54kg at $7.80. Should progress from that first-up run.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.3 len at this track March 16 over 1207m defeating Banana Pudding with 57kg at $1.50. The start before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.3 len at this track February 26 over 1609m defeating Chanel Spirit carrying 56kg at $1.50. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run scored a big 4 len win at this track March 12 over 1207m defeating Miesha carrying 57kg at $2.90. The race before that won by 3 len at this track February 20 over 1207m defeating Reasons We Drink carrying 56kg at $2.60. Has the right credentials.
