Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming

TRICKY TIGER (1) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1609m at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 2.75 lengths. Angel I Diaz scored on him last time and retains the ride. Likely to be in the finish again. SOCK IT TO ME (2) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at today's course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ONE SMOKIN' RITA (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her last appearance at Thistledown (Dirt) over 1207m on October 2. Looks a strong top-three prospect. TRIGGER POINT (3) started at $5.90 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, at this track over 1207m. L A Batista stays aboard. Don't underestimate.

Mare back from a spell of six months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation second last in a small field at Thistledown October 2 over 1207m, 6 len behind Austrian Navy carrying 56kg at $1.60. When resuming last campaign ran last of 8 at Gulfstream Park All Weather January 10 2025 over 1106m, 19 len behind Spirit Of Victory carrying 55.5kg at $4.30. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
