Mahoning Valley Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

WILLIE BIRD (1) returns from a spell of 13 months and did win first-up last time in work over 1207m at Hawthorne (Dirt). Best fresh figures put him right in this. THUNDERIAN (6) returned to winning form last start, scoring by half a length over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and a placing. Definite winning hope. REINVEST (7) showed good early speed over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by 0.8 lengths. This is his optimum trip with six wins from eight starts and shapes as a key runner. FIVEFIVE SIX CHAMP (4) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish sixth over the same trip at this track (Dirt) after he had settled well back. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form.
