Mahoning Valley Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
HENRY MAC (4) returns after a spell of four months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at Belterra Park. Boasts a first-up record of three wins and three placings from seven starts. Has found a suitable race. RUFFIN (8) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months. Scored back-to-back wins before running below his best at the last run of the prep, finishing seventh over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt). Right in this. WIN HERBIE WIN (1) clocked-in third behind Blazing Burroughs last time out at Belterra Park (Dirt) over 1308m. Has a very good record here including two wins from three starts. Winning claims on best figures. STARTDFROMDABOTTOM (5) was in contention on the turn and finished third last time over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. Something for the Multiples: THIS TIME (7)

Comes off a 55 day let-up. Most recently ran second last of 7 at Thistledown on September 8 over 1207m, 4 len behind Boots Malone carrying 55kg at $45.40. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Thistledown on August 24 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Colonel Vargo carrying 56kg at $4.20. Should go well in this line up.
