Mahoning Valley Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
LORDBETWENTOTHORNS (5) missed the frame last time when seventh at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Has ability and can return to winning form. SCARED CAUSE (2) was never in contention last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when he finished fourth, beaten 7 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. SUN OF WAR (1) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Nestor Rivera. By Basin from Rush To War. Bold showing expected. CANTCATCHLILFLETCH (4) is a four-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Jeff Fletcher. By Paynter from Factress. Top-three chance.

Four-year-old gelding by Paynter out of Factress on debut. Worth considering if there is a move for him.
