Mahoning Valley Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
THANKS FRANK (6) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Thistledown (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. ACE VENTURA (7) finished 10 lengths adrift in ninth last time at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. FOLLOW YOUR DREAM (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 5 lengths away in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. TRIKITRAKI (2) improved last start to finish third over 1207m at Mountaineer Park. Suitably placed so he can feature again.

Most recently 5th of 8 at this track on October 27 over 1207m, 8 len behind Aye Aye Sir with 54kg at $12.40. Before that 4th in a small field at Thistledown on October 1 over 1106m, 4 len behind Big Prankster with 53.5kg at $15.40. Won't spend a penny in the run from the inside gate. Good each-way hope.

Recent form sound. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Mountaineer Park on October 20 over 1207m, 6 len behind Bustin Loose with 56kg at $6.40. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Mountaineer Park Turf on October 6 over 1408m, 6 len behind Small Field carrying 56kg at $17.50. This is well within his grasp.

The run before that ran last in a small field at Prairie Meadows on September 13 over 1207m, 13 len behind Double Echo carrying 56.5kg at $3.10. Impossible to tip with any confidence.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 49 day let-up. At the latest run won by 0.8 len at Thistledown on September 21 over 1106m defeating Toddchero with 54kg at $3.60. The start before that 3rd in a small field at Thistledown on August 31 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Brewing carrying 54kg at $10.10. Great chance to win again.

Racing well recently. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at this track on October 24 over 1207m, 5 len behind Impressiveness with 57kg at $5.50. The race before that won by 4 len at Thistledown on October 1 over 1106m defeating Eileen's Desperado with 54kg at $3.80. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
