Mahoning Valley Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
GALANTINI (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 18 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1207m at Fairmount Park, beaten 5 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. DRESS GOOD (2) finds it hard to win with just one success from 10 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1207m at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. GUNN'S ROAR (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1106m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. RAGING CAJUN (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on July 6, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths over 1106m at Parx (Dirt). Now under the care of new trainer James M Watkins. Definite top-three chance.
