Dayton Raceway Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m
SCHOLAR ATHLETE (7) finished fourth last start, beaten 14 metres at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat. MONTE PYTHON (4) was without a win before he improved last start to score by 6 metres over 1609m at Scioto Downs three weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. MSG'S (9) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 6 metres at this track over 1609m. THEE TOWN BUCKEYE (10) debuted impressively three months ago, scoring by 7 metres over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Back from a spell and has plenty of scope for improvement.

Well beaten last start by Msg's, who he meets again; when 30 metres seventh at this track over 1609m in a 2YONW1PM race on September 29. Can't have on that basis.
