Mahoning Valley Race 8

Starter Allowance

Stake: $30,538

REAL NAUGHTY (4) faded last time to finish fourth over 1308m at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic) after showing good early speed. Jose A Bracho who has scored on him 10 times retains the mount. Should be hard to stop. REINVEST (1) is racing well, scoring two back at Thistledown (Dirt) before finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1207m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Has a great record at this journey with five wins from six starts and should be hard to stop. SOLOMONS GOLD (5) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 3 lengths away in second over 1609m at Timonium (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. ILLINI (3) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fifth over 1006m at Belterra Park (Turf). Record at this journey is strong with three wins and a placing from five runs and is not to be discounted.
