Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
ONLY GET'N BETTER (10) was fresh from a two months break last start and scored by 0.1 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three placings. Should go well again. MASTER OF THE NITE (1) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.75 lengths at this track (Dirt). Boasts four wins here. Can measure up again. SHIVAREE (3) started at $4.20 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 1207m. Should park just off the speed. Winning claims on best figures. SUDDEN SHIFT (7) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Sure to run boldly again.

Comes off a 57 day let-up. At the latest run 8th of 10 at Mountaineer Park on December 9 over 1811m, 16 len behind Atta Boy Anthony carrying 57kg at $15.20. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 3 len at Mountaineer Park November 17 over 1609m defeating New Year Surprise carrying 57kg at $9.30. Can't recommend.
