Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
MIDNIGHT WARSHIP (3) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into eighth over 1207m at this track. Luis A Gonzalez gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Faces an easier assignment so he is a leading player. THE PINK Z (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WATCHOUTFORWEAVER (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 lengths into sixth. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ZAKARIA (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1006m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.

Second run back. First-up after seven months ran last of 8 at this track on February 1 over 1207m, 8 len behind Kinderhook carrying 56kg at $9.10. Previously second-up won by 6 len at Thistledown May 22 over 1207m defeating It'sgoodtobeseen carrying 54kg at $1.40. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
