Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
WILLIE BIRD (2) Controlled the speed when winning by 2 1/4L last time at Turfway Park and strong form at this distance. Won't be far away during the run. Gets a favourable gate. Rates well in this race. TRIGGER POINT (3) Picked up late ground when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last run here but competing at a higher level of competition. Running with confidence since returning from a spell. One of the major hopes. RUFFIN (6) Resuming. Weakened to finish 5th last start around here. Can make a comeback but rising in grade. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Contender. MEGASTAR (1) Produced an eye catching run when 3rd last time around here and has the ideal barrier. Possesses very good finishing speed. Matched against tougher rivals. Keep in mind.

Good effort to finish 3rd last time here and has minimal work to do from the gate. Will be trying to topple them late. Facing a stronger class. Can figure in the finish.

Took charge of the race when winning by a margin of 2 1/4L last time at Turfway Park and have to respect the form at this distance. Attracts support.

Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd last run at this track but stepping up to a higher level. Always seems to find the line well. Commands respect.
