Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

HAVE A CIGAR (5) registered a strong win at Thistledown two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when prominent at the bend before finishing fifth over 1106m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CANNON (6) resumed last time out and finished second over 1673m at Belterra Park, beaten 2.25 lengths. Ideally placed to score. WISE WORDS (7) finished second two runs back at Thistledown (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1609m at Thistledown (Dirt). C Keiser scored on him last time and retains the ride. Looks well placed so expect another big run. KEEN SURGE (1) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into sixth over 1673m at Presque Isle Downs. Strips fitter and can turn things around.

The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Thistledown on August 20 over 1609m, nose behind Guns And Ships with 52.5kg at $5.10. No reason he cannot salute again.

At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Fairmount Park on October 13 over 1673m, 12 len behind Spoonie with 54kg at $7.70. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Fairmount Park on September 12 over 1673m, 2 len behind Shady Mcgee carrying 57kg at $5.90. Not doing enough of late to threaten.
