ICE BLAST (1) was never in contention when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1609m at Mahoning Valley last start, a less impressive effort than his first-up fourth at Mahoning Valley the run before. Worth noting Alexander Chavez goes aboard. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. COLONEL POPPY (3) showed little early speed last start then picked up impressively in the straight to finish third at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over today's journey. Strong effort last time and is worth following up. FOOD FOODIE (2) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Capable of another bold performance. TURNSANDCONDITIONS (5) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fourth over 1609m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 6 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
