Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance
MASAKADO (10) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten half a length, over 1609m at Delaware Park (Dirt). Well-placed and will take catching. PATRIARCHAL (6) built on a nice second two starts back at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) with success over 1609m at Thistledown (Dirt) a month ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. REINVEST (1) reunites with Becerra Fernando Salazar after scoring with ease over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time. Must be respected. ST LOUIE LOUIE (2) fought on for second last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming ran last in a small field at Thistledown on September 23 over 1609m, 9 len behind Eddie M with 54kg at $3.70. Second run from a spell won by 2.5 len at this track on October 21 over 1207m defeating Illini carrying 56kg at $4.60. Genuine contender under these conditions.
