Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
SEEKING THE TEMPLE (6) was beaten for early speed on debut last start but hit the line nicely to get up for second over 905m at Belterra Park (Dirt). Likely improver so she is worth following up. CENTAURIA (1) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at Thistledown after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. MAXIMUM GLOW (2) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HELLUVA RIDE (7) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Robert M Gorham. By Rock Your World from Helluva Notion. Top-three chance.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd in a small field at Belterra Park on October 1 over 905m, 4 len behind Belle'sfirstevent with 55.5kg at $2.90. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
