Mahoning Valley Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming

BIG LUCKY (4) scored at this track (Dirt) last time out with 1.5 lengths to spare over today's journey. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Expected to measure up. SILENCE (1) was beaten just 0.3 lengths last start when second in a small field over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Sound record at this distance with five wins and seven minor placings from 17 runs and should be hard to stop. EDDIE M (5) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. EKATI'S WAY (6) did a great job to score by 0.3 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Beautifully placed and is sure to keep the momentum going. Something for the Multiples: HIDDEN ACCESS (3)
