Mahoning Valley Race 6 - Best Of Ohio John W. Galbreath S. Stakes
TULSI (2) Put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of 4L last time at Thistledown and going up in trip. Will try to take advantage of the barrier. Key player. INSIDE JOKE (3) Thrashed the field when winning by a margin of just short of 7L last start at Thistledown and going up in distance. Placed at every start this campaign. Expect to go close. CHESTNUT QUEEN (5) Strong effort to run into 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at Thistledown and going over extra ground. Should muster plenty of early speed. Very competitive this campaign. Right in this. STAR SPANGLED (1) Looked outclassed when 4th last start at Thistledown. Should bounce back and facing a rise in trip. Has plenty of early speed. Can save some energy from the alley. Include in chances.

Started $3.60 and couldn't stay in touch when 4th last start at Thistledown. Should bounce back and racing over more ground. Expecting to settle positively. Drawn well. Could win this.

Won by a huge margin of 4L last time at Thistledown and gets a favourable gate. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation and facing an increased distance. Major player who should go very close.

Gave nothing else a chance when winning by nearly 7L last start at Thistledown and racing over extra ground. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Good prospects.

Jumped at $18.00 and was ordinary when 7th last time at Del Mar but taking on easier opposition. Has early speed and positions nicely. Very unlikely to cause an upset.

Made some ground late when 2nd last start at Thistledown and putting a tidy record together so far. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Could go close.

First up today. Finished with intent when 3rd last run at Thistledown and showing consistent performance in races. Finishes off strongly. Stepping up in trip. Matched against a stronger field. Worth a serious look.
