ECHO VALLEY (6) was in contention on the corner and finished 0. 3 lengths away from the winner in second last start at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over 1m Has found the frame in all four starts at this journey, including two wins. Erik Barbaran who has scored on her three times retains the mount. Among the leading chances. MISS ELECKTRA (3) has two wins and two minor placings from five runs this campaign. Scored last start by 5 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 5½f after being handy all the way. Going well enough to play a major role. GOOSEBUMPS (2) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten half a length. Nicely placed to go one better. JEMEL (5) lines up for the first time since October 21. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5½f at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
