Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
ISA FORTRESS (9) Did well to finish 3rd last run here and coming back up in distance. First start for a new trainer. Suitably placed in this race. PLEASURE PEARL (1) Not competitive when 9th last start at Thistledown but racing over extra ground. Racing for a new trainer and gets a favourable draw. Won't be far away during the run. Up to these. HOLIDAY COAL (3) Improved to place when 2nd last start around here and going over extra ground. Shows good early pace. Showing consistent performance in races. Will give a big sight. STOPTALKINGSARAH (7) Good run when placing 2nd last time at Belterra Park and back to a rise in trip. Should go close

Jumped at $5.00 and average effort when 9th last start at Thistledown but stepping up in trip. Likely to be well placed early. First race for a new trainer. Good chance of taking this out.

Started $28.00 and subpar when 10th last start around here but returning to more ground. Unplaced in all races to date. Struggling this campaign with no placings from 6 starts. Can't have today.

Solid effort to run into 3rd beaten by close to 13L last run at this track and returns to a longer distance. Change in trainer. Good potential.
