Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Ratings Handicap

JOHN'S ROCK (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. SMOKIN' HOT (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 3 lengths away in second over 1106m at this track (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. SUNSET TOWN (4) improved last start to finish second over 1609m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. The engagement of Jason Simpson is a positive move. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BELLA FUTURE (2) travelled in a rearwards position and didn't fire over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign third of 7 at this track January 22 over 1673m, 8 len behind Afraidofthebunny with 54kg at $13.60. Previously first up; second of 7 at this track March 19 2025 over 1207m, 5 len behind Game Boy Benny carrying 57kg at $49.60. This looks too tough.

Most recently second last in a small field at this track on March 16 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Stormin'unclejack with 56kg at $3.60. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on March 4 over 1207m, 7 len behind French Onion carrying 56kg at $7. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
