Dayton Raceway Race 22 - Race 22 - 1609m
KEENE FINALE (4) resumes after finishing eighth at his latest appearance at Scioto Downs on July 8. Talented and has plenty of upside. Has the class to take care of this field. NIGHTHAWK RACER (6) made it two wins from his last three runs a week ago, getting home by a neck over 1609m at this track. Finds a nice race and will be a major force once more. ZUMMA WORLD (9) is in the mix at his first run since finishing fourth over 1609m at Northfield Park four months ago. MATT AND LUKE (5) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at Scioto Downs five-and-a-half weeks ago.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 3 m (Fr1) at this track (1:53.30) beating Cagey Captain in NW1PM on September 29 at $3.20. Two runs back 4th (Fr7) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 12 m by Jafar (1:53.30) in HGNW1PMRLT on July 16 at $7.70. Progressing well and can win again.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Fear No Lou (1:51.20) in NW2PM on September 28 at $51.60. May find this too tough.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr5) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, well beaten by The Great Escape (1:51.30) in HGNW2PMRLT on September 15 at $76.80. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.5 m (Fr7) at Scioto Downs (1:53.40) beating Buckeye Star in HGNW1CDCL on September 1 at $4.30. Capable of a strong showing.
