Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

POPPY'S PRIDE (2) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Strong record with Becerra Fernando Salazar aboard, including two wins. Likely to feature. UNPREDICTABLE BAY (5) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Alexander Chavez who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Should be in the finish. SMOKIN' HOT (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TRIKITRAKI (3) improved sharply last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt) two-and-a-half weeks ago. Solid top-three prospects.
