Mahoning Valley Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
HAVE A CIGAR (6) scored by a nose two back at Thistledown (Dirt) then missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (Dirt). Will appreciate the drop in the weights. Sure to go close if runs up to recent win. COLLATOR (2) made it four minor placings in a row last start when third over 1609m at Belterra Park (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. AVES MAKIN' WAVES (5) was in the money two starts back at Mountaineer Park but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 26 lengths, at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) over 1609m. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. ELECTIONEERING (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Mountaineer Park, beaten 9 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.

Returns from a 33-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 8 at Fairmount Park on October 3 over 1673m, 9 len behind Nightwind with 54.5kg at $4.90. The start before that settled back and ran on when 4th of 8 at Fairmount Park on August 29 over 1207m, 6 len behind Cutlass King with 54.5kg at $15.80. Can't recommend.

Second-up. First-up after nine months ran second last of 7 at Mountaineer Park on October 19 over 1609m, 9 len behind Fabelman with 56kg at $5.60. Previously second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Delaware Park on July 16 2025 over 1673m, 2.75 len behind Night Time Nap carrying 53.5kg at $5.40. Worth consideration.

Most recently 5th of 7 at this track on October 21 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Tapirs Valor with 56kg at $9.90. The run before that won by a nose at Thistledown on September 21 over 1106m defeating Polizon carrying 54.5kg at $3.70. Showed enough last start to suggest he can take this out.
