Mahoning Valley Race 6 - Best Of Ohio John W. Galbreath S. Stakes
PANDA LISTEN (4) changes rider since being well held last time in seventh over 1408m in the G1 Del Mar Debutante Stakes (Dirt) on September 5. Key runner on her best efforts. INSIDE JOKE (3) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt). Penalised at the weights this time but should prove tough to beat. TULSI (2) got off the mark over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt) last start, scoring by 4 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. L A Batista was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. CHESTNUT QUEEN (5) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1207m at Thistledown. That followed a win at Belterra Park the start prior. Worth plenty of thought.

Form hard to fault. Last start scored a big 4 len win at Thistledown on October 5 over 1207m defeating Centauria with 54.5kg at $1.10. The race before that came from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Thistledown on September 17 over 1106m, 6 len behind Inside Joke with 54kg at $2.70. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.

Comes off a 49 day let-up. Most recently sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 in the G1 Del Mar Debutante Stakes on September 5 over 1408m, 12 len behind Miss Monica with 56kg at $25.10. The run before that won by 6 len at Listed level at Thistledown at Thistledown on August 8 over 1207m defeating Motownsnojoke carrying 53.5kg at $2.20. Can atone.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 40 day let-up. Last start 2nd in a small field at Thistledown on September 14 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Michelle My Belle carrying 53kg at $3.10. Before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Belterra Park on August 7 over 1006m defeating Queen Ellen carrying 54kg at $1.40. No surprise if she was in the finish.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign third of 9 at Thistledown in the LR August 8 over 1207m, 9 len behind Panda Listen carrying 53.5kg at $10.10. At her first start to post a big 6 len win. Thistledown July 2 over 1006m defeating Thibodeau's Storm carrying 53.5kg at $4.40. Worth keeping in mind.
