Mahoning Valley Race 3

Mdn Special Weight

Prize Money: $34,566

NACUA (1) will find this a little easier than his third on debut three weeks ago, beaten 8 lengths at the end of 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Promising type with improvement to come so he is worth following up. EXODUS (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.3 lengths away in second over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GOLDEN HURRICANE (2) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1207m at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Has to be respected. WONDERFUL QUALITY (4) was beaten 5 lengths into fourth in a 1308m contest at Woodbine All Weather at his latest appearance. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
