Mahoning Valley Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

GRAY DAY (4) missed the frame last time when fourth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on six consecutive occasions. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. GOTTOMAKEITHAPPEN (2) improved last start to finish second over 1106m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. BISCUITS AND GRITS (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Placed to advantage and can run a better race. GONE IN A FLASH (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.
