Mahoning Valley Race 5

Claiming

Stake: -

ALL MY LIFE (6) Won easily by a margin of 4 3/4L last start here but matched against tougher rivals. Fernando Salazar Becerra is a bonus and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. In the mix. SMASH (8) Finished 2nd last run at this venue and will appreciate the drop in grade. Has early speed and positions nicely. Very competitive this campaign. Stable is in form. Appears well in this. ONLY GET'N BETTER (7) Did well to run into 3rd last time around here but up in grade. Rocco Bowen usually performs well for the Julie A Pappada stable. Has to be included. TOAST TO COAST (2) Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 2nd last start at this venue and can find a nice position from the draw. One of the main dangers.
