Mahoning Valley Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
DOS AMORES (1) improved sharply on her sixth two starts back at Thistledown (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by one length after being prominent at the turn. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she deserves plenty of thought. HOP AWAY HOTTIE (2) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fifth over 1207m in Listed grade at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Sound record at this distance with four wins and eight minor placings from 15 runs and shapes as a key contender. BAH HUMBUG (3) returns from a layoff of five months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at Thistledown. One to consider. HOT COCOA (4) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with one length to spare over 1609m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Has a strong association with Deshawn L Parker who has been in the saddle for her last three wins. Deserves respect.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. Most recently 5th of 8 at Mountaineer Park Turf on September 29 over 1609m, 8 len behind Valiant Enya with 56kg at $14.50. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Mountaineer Park Turf on September 2 over 1609m defeating Good Enough For Me with 56kg at $9.40. Mediocre effort last time out but this suits.
