Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
RUN BOBBY RUN (8) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1609m at Belterra Park (Dirt). Has never been out of the money in four starts here, including a win. Likely to feature. SOUND CITY (1) went forward last start over 1673m at Belterra Park (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 2.75 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. PURE GRINDING (5) did a great job to score by 2.75 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Finds another suitable race and can do it again. CALORESE (6) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1609m at Thistledown (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
