Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Allowance

INSTIGATION (3) found one better last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after she was in contention on the turn. Has never been out of the money in seven starts at this trip, including five wins. Winning rider Rocco Bowen sticks. Expecting a bold showing. MIESHA (5) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Penny Rone. Looks a winning chance. REASONS WE DRINK (2) was impressive last time at this track (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths over this trip. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Capable of testing this field. NATIONAL DIAMOND (4) turned in a modest performance when ninth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 14 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
