Mahoning Valley Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
SUNDAESWITHSANDY (2) was well fancied last start over 1609m at Thistledown (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Rates highly and expected to atone. GAMBOLING GHOST (4) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by half a length over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. ALL MY LIFE (3) has been racing well and is poised to break through after four minor placings in a row, the latest when second over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Form this track is hard to knock with four wins from 12 starts. One of the main contenders. SIMPLY VALID (5) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 8 lengths back in fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Cannot be underestimated.

Last start 2nd of 9 at Fort Erie on October 20 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Sunday's Well with 56kg at $3.50. The race before that eased back early on ran second last in a small field at Fort Erie on September 21 over 1207m, 6 len behind Kiddie Holiday with 55.5kg at $3.90. Likely to find them too smart.

Second run back. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after three months came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Thistledown on September 23 over 1207m defeating Tonight with 56kg at $5.20. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Thistledown on August 28 2025 over 1207m, 12 len behind Simply Valid carrying 54kg at $20.80. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.

Racing well recently. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track on October 27 over 1207m, 8 len behind Aye Aye Sir with 56kg at $5.50. The run before that won by 2.75 len at Thistledown on September 23 over 1207m defeating Chalon's First with 54kg at $2.80. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.
