Mahoning Valley Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
LORDBETWENTOTHORNS (8) finds it hard to win with just one success from 15 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1207m at Thistledown, beaten 5 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. EL CANELO ONE (2) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. TRIANGULO ROJO (7) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 14 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. DUBLIN TIME (1) scored two back at Thistledown (Dirt) but was below his best last time when seventh over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt). Deserves another chance.

Comes here off a 43-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 7 at Thistledown on September 23 over 1106m, 7 len behind Worthy Of It All carrying 54kg at $5.70. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 len at Thistledown on August 25 over 1207m defeating Markaway carrying 54kg at $2.60. Form doesn't read well but he is a genuine contender.
