Mahoning Valley Race 6

Best Of Ohio John W. Galbreath S. Stakes

Stake: $173,516

PERFECT ANGEL (6) was thereabouts last time out when third at Listed level at Thistledown (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Alexander Chavez stays on. Bold showing expected. CAST YOUR SPELL (2) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 1106m at Belterra Park (Dirt) six weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. DUNN'S RIVER (7) was sent out favourite but could only finish fourth over 1207m at Thistledown last time. Prior to that had been racing well, collecting two minor placings on end. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Should be involved in the finish. RYKA (3) had a bit on her rivals last time out, scoring an impressive 6 lengths maiden win over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Angel I Diaz was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders.
