Race 6: Allowance (6 Furlongs)

• #1 Good Heart (4/1): Boasts an 86 Speed Last Race rating, which is among the top in this field. His consistent E/P 5 (Early/Presser) runstyle allows him to sit just off the lead and strike.+1
• #2 Ol’ L B (6/1): A closer (S 2 runstyle) that needs a fast pace to run into. While his last speed figure was a 78, his Prime Power of 121.7 suggests he is more talented than his recent finish indicates.+1
• #3 Captured by Love (8/1): Shows a very high Best Pace E1 of 101, meaning he is extremely fast out of the gate. However, his Late Speed figures often drop off, making him a “catch-me-if-you-can” type.
• #4 Shady Justice (3/1): A major player with the highest Prime Power (127.3) in the race. His Class Rating of 115.3 is significantly higher than most of this field, making him the one to beat.
• #5 To Win (10/1): Has a modest 76 Speed Last Race. While he has a high Best Pace E2 of 105, he often struggles to maintain that energy through the final furlong.+1
• #6 Need to Know Basis (2/1): The likely favorite with an 88 Speed Last Race and the highest Average Class Rating (116.3). He is exceptionally consistent at this distance.+1

Race 7: Claiming (1 Mile)

• #2 Play Ball (2/1): With the scratches of the #1, #6, and #7, he is the class of the field. He has the highest Speed Last Race (76) and a strong Prime Power of 113.1.+2
• #3 Visual Mission (8/1): A sustained runner (S 2) who may benefit from the longer 1-mile distance. His Back Speed of 85 shows he is capable of much better than his recent 68.+1
• #4 Send Me On (4/1): Shows a high Best Pace E1 of 91. In a smaller field due to scratches, his early speed could allow him to dictate the terms and steal the race.+2
• #5 Exalted Joy (5/2): Extremely consistent with speed figures of 75, 75, and 76 in his last three starts. He has the highest Class Last 3 (111.4) of the remaining entries.+1

Race 8: Allowance (6 Furlongs)

• #1 Quality Bet (4/1): Posted a strong 82 Speed Last Race. He is an E/P 7 runner, meaning he will be part of the early pace battle from the rail.+1
• #2 Windy Lu Who (3/1): Owns a massive Best Pace E1 of 105. She is the fastest horse early, but she must deal with the #3 horse pressing her the whole way.
• #3 High Fire (5/2): The strongest horse on paper with a 135.0 Prime Power. She has the highest Average Class Rating (118.4) and rarely runs a bad race at Mahoning Valley.
• #4 Awesome Sunday (6/1): A stalker (P 3) who will hope the #2 and #3 exhaust each other. She has a respectable Speed Last Race of 81.+1
• #5 Grizabella (10/1): A veteran with a high Class Rating (117.0), but her speed figures have dipped recently to the mid-70s.
• #6 Back to Ohio (8/1): Boasts a Back Speed of 92, the highest in the field, but hasn’t run near that number in several months.
• #7 Star Ella (12/1): Facing a tough task carrying 120 lbs (4 lbs overweight) against this high-quality allowance field.

Race 9: Claiming (6 Furlongs)

• #2 All About Croge (5/2): Despite the owner change, he remains the horse to beat with a Prime Power of 115.9 and the highest Class Rating (111.5).+1
• #3 Powerful Moon (8/1): A closer with a Late Speed rating of 83, which is the best in this specific field. If the leaders tire, he will be the one flying late.
• #4 Abundant Energy (6/1): Like the #7 in the previous race, carrying 120 lbs (4 lbs overweight) is a major handicap in a sprint where every pound counts.
• #7 Inside the Circle (4/1): Very consistent runner with a Speed Last Race of 68. His Average Class (110.1) makes him highly competitive here.
• #8 Always Smiling (10/1): Struggling with form, showing a recent speed figure of only 52.
• #9 Ciro the Great (3/1): Possesses early speed (E 7) and the highest Best Pace E2 (93). He will likely be the leader as they turn for home
