Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

OKLAHOMA JOE (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Angel I Diaz gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Nicely placed to find winning ways. DARK VADER (6) did a great job to score by 0.3 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. No reason he cannot salute again. WETZEL (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when fourth in a 1609m contest at this track a month ago after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. NEED TO KNOW BASIS (7) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 4 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from nine starts. Has to be respected.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track on January 13 over 1609m, 2 len behind Dark Vader with 56kg at $6.50. The race before that got back early 4th of 7 at this track on December 19 over 1207m, 6 len behind Henry Mac with 56kg at $13.10. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
