Mountaineer Park Race 4 - Race 4
ABSOLUTE GRIT (5) changes rider since being well held last time in fifth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) on March 12. Deserves another chance. BOHEMIAN STYLE (4) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when third over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Should be prominent from the outset. Will give a great sight. LE GRIFFON (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 1710m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. JEDI'S WAY (6) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Sure to be thereabouts.
