Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
RUN ON CANDY (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. SHEZ TWISTED (6) is a nine-start maiden who finished ninth at her most recent outing over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. TALE OF LEMONBELLE (7) finished second first-up at this track then couldn't repeat the dose last time when fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m when beaten 12 lengths. Wide draw but keeps coming. Suited here and can feature with even luck. CANDY MIRAGE (3) faced the starter for the first time and finished 11th last start at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1308m, beaten 31 lengths. Can improve sharply. Something for the Multiples: LADY MIDSHIPMAN (5)

Third race start. First start ran last of 12 at Ellis Park Turf on August 23 over 1106m, 24 len behind Undisputable with 54kg at $16.81. Returned from break 3rd in a small field at this track on February 18 over 1207m, 12 len behind Academic Freedom carrying 55.5kg at $7.80. Should progress from that first-up run.
