Mahoning Valley Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
MAS AMOR (5) Fresh today after a break. Strong effort to the line to win last run at Retama Park and going over more ground. Likely to be well placed early. Will give a big sight. SEEKING THE TEMPLE (6) Did well to run into 2nd beaten by 4 1/4L last start at Belterra Park and having second race start. Has plenty of early speed. Has the ability to take this out. MAXIMUM GLOW (2) Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd beaten by just short of 12L last start at Thistledown and has a positive draw. Could give a show. CENTAURIA (1) Produced an eye catching run when 2nd last time at Thistledown and will appreciate a good draw. Shows very good closing speed. Marco Ibarra stable are running hot lately. Good chance of threatening these.

Strong effort to run into 2nd beaten by 4L last time at Thistledown and drawn beautifully. Expected to be flashing home. Marco Ibarra stable are on a hot streak. Genuine claims.

At $18.00 couldn't stay in touch when 5th last start at Thistledown. Should jump out and bowl along. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

Odds of $28.00 and gave away some ground when 6th last start at Thistledown. Displays good tactical speed. Hasn't placed in 8 attempts. Yet to fire this campaign. Rather have another day.

First up after a break. Stormed home to win last run at Retama Park and racing over more ground. First start for a new trainer. Should go well.

Nice effort to run into 2nd last start at Belterra Park and was a debutant last start. Has early speed and positions nicely. Commands respect.

2yo runner on debut by Rock Your World for trainer Robert M Gorham. Betting is the best guide.
