Mountaineer Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
PRINCESS AZARA (3) was well in commission last start over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) when third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and is expected to feature. CLASSIC TIRAMISU (6) failed to figure again last time over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic), beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Among the top chances on her best figures. BABY VANESSA (1) is a four-start maiden who was close to a win before a 11 weeks break, finishing off with a minor placing at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Expect she has come on over the break. Nicely placed and can kick this campaign off on a bright note. PRETTYRUNNER (4) is a 10-start maiden who was close to a win before a four-and-a-half months break, finishing off with a minor placing at this track (Dirt). Jockey Jairo H Hernandez back aboard. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
