ARMY KITTEN (6) was well in the market when second at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) last time and although proving costly drops in weight here. Rates highly here and gets chance to break through. BATTLE TESTED (4) last appeared two-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f at Mahoning Valley when she finished sixth. This is her first run for the Richard L Genovese stable. Should be thereabouts. HALCYON DAYS (2) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1m1/4f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt), getting home by 0.3 lengths. Winning rider Becerra Fernando Salazar retains the mount. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again. LIVING IN STYLE (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Mahoning Valley, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
