Mahoning Valley Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
A LITTLE CANELA (3) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Erik Barbaran is a key engagement. Has the talent to return to the winner's list. HARTFUL HOPE (1) started at $4 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 3 lengths, at this track over 1207m. B Tapara sticks. Well placed and should be in the finish. BIG GINGER (8) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with eight wins and seven minor placings from 24 outings. Solid top-three chance. LOADED ONCE MORE (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fifth. Capable of featuring prominently. Something for the Multiples: THE SHOE LADY (7)

Most recently second last in a small field at this track on February 18 over 1609m, 8 len behind Goshen with 56kg at $1.80. The run before that favourite; won by 1.75 len at this track January 2 over 1673m defeating Shieldmewithprayer carrying 56kg at $3.70. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
