Mahoning Valley Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

RED CHILI PEPPER (8) has accrued five minor placings from seven runs this preparation. Continued the trend last time out when third over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt) after he was always up in the leading division. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. GAPPER (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at Thistledown, beaten only 0.3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GOTTOMAKEITHAPPEN (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 1207m at Thistledown a week-and-a-half ago after being prominent at the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. GONE IN A FLASH (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Thistledown (Dirt) over 1207m after he got a long way back in the run. Likely improver who should be about the mark.
