Mahoning Valley Race 8

Starter Allowance

Stake: -

THIRSTY JOHN (5) Assumed control from the start when winning by 4 1/2L last time at Mountaineer Park and ideal distance as proven previously. Racing in stronger company. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. REINVEST (3) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at the track and up against weaker rivals. Has been a model of consistency this prep. Will be motoring home late. Can go on with it. ERNIE'S MARTINI (1) Ran 3rd last time at this venue and can save some energy from the alley. Chelsey Keiser and Kevin Buttigieg are a strong duo. One of the hopes. THE DOORMAN (7) First run back from a break. Didn't threaten when 6th last run at Presque Isle Downs. Can make a comeback but dropping back to a shorter trip. Has claims.
