Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
ROGUES A PLOTTING (6) showed ability at his only start back on November 20 when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Sure to have improved over the break and looks the one to beat. EL CANELO ONE (5) put the writing on the wall last time when second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 2.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. MY PAISAN (2) returns after 12 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Strong winning chance on best figures. LEGAL JARGON (7) is facing the starter for the first time. By Drill and hails from the Robert M Gorham stable. Worth watching for a betting push.

Comes off a 36 day let-up. Most recently ran last of 11 at Tampa Bay Downs on January 4 over 1408m, 40 len behind Battalion Leader carrying 54.5kg at $110.20. Before that settled back and ran on when 7th of 10 at Tampa Bay Downs on December 19 over 1609m, 17 len behind Magic Mikey carrying 54.5kg at $63.70. Can't make much of a case.

Three-year-old gelding by Drill out of Late Lover having his first start. Key runner likely to measure up.
