Mahoning Valley Race 6

Starter Allowance

Prize Money: $25,107

PUFF'SMAGICDRAGON (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1673m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Finds a suitable race and can return to the winner's circle. HEMP HEAVEN (2) showed good early pace over 1673m at this track (Dirt) last time and kept going to score by 0.3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. RHUMJAR (1) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1710m at Charles Town (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. ABSOLUTE GRIT (7) has been racing in good style including a last start third over 1106m at this track, beaten one length. Likely to be about the money again. Something for the Multiples: SUDDEN SHIFT (5)

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 9 at this track on February 5 over 1609m, 4 len behind Big Lucky carrying 56kg at $32.70. The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 8 at this track on December 23 over 1673m, on a wet track; 0.3 len behind Hemp Heaven carrying 56kg at $11.30. Among the better chances.
