Dayton Raceway Race 12 - Race 12 - 1609m
ROCK SON (4) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 30 metres into sixth at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and from this favourable draw can play a major role. ROBINTHECRADLE (2) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 6 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a suitable assignment and can discover winning form. FIRE THE DEMS (1) ended last prep with a fourth at Scioto Downs over 1609m three-and-a-half months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. SOLID ROCK (6) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
