Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

PARTY POOPER (5) Controlled the speed when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last time at this venue but competing in a higher grade. First appearance for a new trainer. Definite claims. GUNNER GABRIEL (11) Led all the way to win by nearly 7L last time at the track but racing against tougher rivals. Made it 2 wins on the bounce. Will be there at the finish. DARK VADER (4) Competitive effort when 3rd last run at this venue but coming back in distance. Very competitive this preparation but up against a more competitive field. Can take this out. SPIRIT OF AKRON (7) Flashed home late into 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time here but facing a stronger group of contenders. Has shown early pace in races to date. Key player.

Back after a spell. Ran home strongly to win last start here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Should come to hand quickly. Watch for a sign in the market.

Started at $10.00 and weakened to finish 6th last time at the track and challenged by more formidable competitors. Has plenty of early speed. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Finished 3rd last run at this venue but will be dropping in distance. Very competitive this campaign but up in class. Quietly confident of a big run at decent odds.

Gave them all something to chase to win by 3 1/2L last time around here but up against tougher rivals. Should muster plenty of early speed. Should go very close.

Came on strongly to finish 2nd when beaten by 3/4L last time at this venue but facing formidable competition. Should muster plenty of early toe. Stable is in form. Solid claims.

Jumped at $18.00 and disappointing effort when 10th last start at this track and matched against tougher rivals. Likely to settle back in the field. Not hopeless.
