Mahoning Valley Race Course - Race #5 - Post: 2:37pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $19,500 Class Rating: 62
Rating:
#9 CROSSED UP (ML=10/1)
#7 GLIMMERGLASS (ML=5/1)
CROSSED UP - Ran a less than stellar race at Mahoning Valley Race Cour last time around the track. Racing on a non-sloppy track puts this filly at the top of my list of contenders. GLIMMERGLASS - Filly's last work was second fastest of the day for the distance. Don't throw this horse out due to her last clash at Mahoning Valley Race Cour where she finished sixth on the mud. Should improve this time around. Getting a break of 7 lbs from last race at Mahoning Valley Race Cour. She should make the most of this advantage. She has the uppermost earnings per start. Take a good look at this horse.
Vulnerable Contenders: #5 APPEALING SENORITA (ML=3/1), #3 CLIFTONS BALLERINA (ML=7/2), #6 LADY ABRIL (ML=4/1),
APPEALING SENORITA - While Equibase's speed ratings are great, I would seriously discount the high one from the January 18th on a track listed as good. Some horses just run well on the off going. Had a tough stretch drive on January 4th and followed it up with another one. Probably won't see her doing it this time around. CLIFTONS BALLERINA - Hasn't been coming close at all recently. The pace scenario just isn't too promising for this speed merchant. Many other ponies would have to scratch to upgrade her chances. LADY ABRIL - The pace scenario just isn't too promising for this early speedster. Many other ponies would have to scratch to promote her efforts.
GUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - GLIMMERGLASS - Despite finishing sixth last time around the track, wasn't too far from the winner. Fits with this field.| STRAIGHT WAGERS: | #9 CROSSED UP is the play if we get odds of 3/2 or better |
| EXACTA WAGERS: | Box [7,9] |
