Mahoning Valley Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

LUCKY COUGAR (1) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Has the speed to be prominent from the outset. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. HARTFUL HOPE (4) finished third last time out over this course and distance, travelling towards the tail before winding up strongly in the dying stages. A repeat of the latest effort will see her in the finish again. SOCIALBUTTERFLYTAM (6) has not appeared since she finished third over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) on December 17. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from four starts. Makes plenty of appeal. LIBERTY BELLE (3) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing. Something for the Multiples: LOADED ONCE MORE (5)

At the latest run 4th in a small field at this track on February 4 over 1207m, 6 len behind Cant Fake The Hate with 56kg at $6.30. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at this track December 23 over 1207m in heavy going defeating Getaway Bay with 56kg at $9.30. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
