Mahoning Valley Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Allowance

RUNWITHHEART (6) proved too strong two runs ago at Thistledown. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1609m at Thistledown, beaten 8 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. GENERAL ISSUE (4) disappointed at his last run four months ago when fourth at Charles Town (Dirt), that effort following back-to-back wins. Big chance to kick off this campaign with a win. GHOST BIKE (5) was in the firing line on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1609m at Thistledown after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Worth noting Elijah Greenidge goes aboard. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PENNY LOAFER (8) scored last start at Laurel (Dirt) to make it three wins from five starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be thereabouts.

Entire back from a spell of four months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign fourth in a small field at Charles Town July 9 over 1408m, 4 len behind Vex with 53kg at $13.30. Previously first up; sixth of 8 at this track December 23 over 1673m, in the wet; 6 len behind Hemp Heaven with 56kg at $3.50. Should be right in the finish.
