Mahoning Valley Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
THE ACE PROJECT (5) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Top chance. IDOL GOLD (4) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 18 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt). This offers him a great chance of breaking through. FLASHY IDOL (2) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished seventh at his last appearance over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt) on October 8. Worth including in this suitable contest. SNOWIE MIDNIGHT (3) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of F Hill Parker. By Midnight Lute from Snowie Hill. Top-three chance.
