Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
LOOKIN LIKE LUCKY (2) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second when he worked home well at the end of 1207m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. FAST TALKIN MAN (6) was close to a maiden win before a 11 months break, finishing off with a placing over 1106m at Laurel (Dirt). Expect he has come on over the break. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. UNION SWAG (3) is on a eight-day back-up after finishing in the money over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Good effort last start and has solid top-three prospects. RYU MO (4) has not been sighted since he finished fourth over 1006m at Mountaineer Park on November 23. Key player. Something for the Multiples: SCAREDY CATNESS (5)
