Mahoning Valley Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
COOL COUPLE (6) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at Mountaineer Park Turf (Turf) over 1408m. Form this track is hard to knock with four wins from 11 starts. Likely to feature. K KID (2) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1609m at Thistledown (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. HEZA PISTOL (4) has been kept fresh since finishing third over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt) five weeks ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Has a high cruising speed. One of the main contenders. WETZEL (3) drifted well back from the inside draw last time before winding up strongly and finishing fifth over 1609m at Thistledown (Dirt). Among the chances.
