Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
RIPMAN (6) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at Thistledown after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. QUESTIONABLE EVENT (3) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt) seven weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. WATCH AND WAGER (10) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Jumps from a wide draw but he is worth including. DYNAMIC GIFT (8) has been racing consistently including a last start second over 1207m at Belterra Park, beaten 3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. Something for the Multiples: STANLEY'S STARS (4)
