Mahoning Valley Race 8

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $48,871

JOHN'S ROCK (5) Resuming after a spell. Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by 7L last time at Mountaineer Park. Has plenty of early speed. Well placed and has solid claims. MOREAU (7) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Pulled away to win by a margin of just over 9L last run at this track. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. PRINCE ABU DHABI (1) Came in 5th last run at Turfway Park. Should improve here and returns to an increased distance. Alexander Chavez takes the reins today and has the ideal draw. Worth a ticket. HITSVILLE (6) Managed to run 2nd last start at this track. Victor R Fernandez and Glenroy Brown make a formidable team. In strong racing shape since coming back from a spell. Could be a value selection.
