Mahoning Valley Race 8

Allowance

Prize Money: $41,374

KINDERHOOK (3) Produced an eye catching run when 3rd last run here. Likely to be well placed early. Erik Barbaran has been successful previously. This field suits. SWING STATE (1) First up from a break of 63 weeks. Made all to win by 3L last time at the track and has drawn to do little work. Shows good early pace. Serious player. SAMMY AND SHORTY (5) Finished 4th last run at the track. Happy to overlook that run. First appearance for a new trainer. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. FROSTY PAWS (4) Didn't find the line when 4th last start around here. Has the potential to improve sharply. Luis Batista and Craig Sweeting show promise as a combination. Include in chances.
