Mahoning Valley Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
WORTHY OF IT ALL (6) displayed plenty of early toe over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 0.8 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. TWO TWENTY TWO (3) settled well back last start and made little impact in the straight when sixth, beaten 15 lengths, over this journey at Thistledown (Dirt). Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. KETTLE COALMINE (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 11 lengths when fifth in a 1207m contest at this track two weeks ago. Angel I Diaz gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MAMAS HOME COOKING (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on October 12 when beaten 6 lengths into fourth at Belterra Park (Dirt) over 1308m after he was well back on straightening. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.

Returns from a 31-day let-up. Last start eased back early on 4th in a small field at Belterra Park on October 12 over 1308m, 6 len behind Haley's Dante carrying 56kg at $25.30. The run before that ran second last of 7 at Thistledown on September 30 over 1207m, 11 len behind Eagle Nest carrying 54.5kg at $16.10. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Returns from a 44-day let-up. At the latest run ran last in a small field at Thistledown on September 29 over 1207m, 15 len behind Colonel Cooper with 54kg at $11.70. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at Belterra Park on September 6 over 1207m defeating He Is Dynamic carrying 54.5kg at $1.60. Has the ability to turn things around.
