STEPNOSKI (4) broke through for his maiden win over 1006m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Shaping up nicely and he is a key runner. POLIZON (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. NASTINATE (3) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. EDIFICE (2) has not appeared since he finished fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on December 9. Looks a strong top-three prospect.

Third-up today. First-up set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at Mahoning Valley on March 31 over 1207m, 0.3 len behind Daredevil Doug with 53.5kg at $8.60. Second-up won by 7 len at Mahoning Valley April 7 over 1006m defeating Enzito with 53.5kg at $1.50. Shows promise. Will take beating.
