Plus within Zero 1st off layoff

[Jeebs]

Hello!

In today's (1/23) 2nd at Mahoning Valley, the #2 Tiz Erins Night ran 9 days ago going a mile at Turfway, running up close for 2 calls (1st by head 1/4m, 2nd by 1 1/2 at 1/2m) before fading precipitously through the field to finish dead last (6th by 18 3/4). To me, a textbook "plus within zero" effort.

Normally, I would consider examining the next line for something more comparable, but that "next line" was 238 days ago, going 5 1/2F at Mountaineer, which was a solid win while sitting 5th early on, nearly 5 lengths off a fast early pace. Even though this line is "stale", is it still OK to consider this line for analysis given how the 1st off the layoff was (+) and a non-comparable distance? Or is this an instance where I consider "No Line" and move on to the next horse?
