Mahoning Valley Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
JESTER'S SONG (6) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1408m at Charles Town, beaten 4 lengths. Has the class to produce another positive result. GAME BOY BENNY (4) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten a nose. Has the class to figure prominently. BOUDIN (3) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths as favourite. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BUCKET LIST (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 10 lengths into seventh. E Paucar gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

At the latest run second last in a small field at this track on January 15 over 1106m, 3 len behind Unpredictable Bay with 54kg at $19.40. Before that 5th of 7 at this track on January 2 over 1207m, 8 len behind Blue Max carrying 56kg at $24. Finds a few better today. Can't recommend.
