Dayton Raceway Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m
CAGEY CAPTAIN (5) recorded another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Primary contender based on that latest outing. PARIS'S FIRE (8) made an impressive return last time out when successful over 1609m at The Meadows on September 17, getting home by 4 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. It doesn't get any easier but he is good enough to take this out. FIRE IN THE RAIN (3) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. PRINCE FRIEDRICH (2) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Terror In Pacific at this track over 1609m in a NW1PM on September 29 at $17.70. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 7 m by Hong Kong Phooey (1:57.10) in NW1PMCD on September 23 at $2.20. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Wagon Day at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a HGNW2PMRLT on September 19 at $8.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Terror In Pacific at this track over 1609m in a NW1PM on September 29 at $1.70. Strong winning hope.

Three-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at The Meadows beaten 50 m by Paris's Fire (1:52.20) in CGNW1EXTPM on September 17 at $3.50. Finds a few better. Can't recommend.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following September 5 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.9 m (Fr5) at Scioto Downs (1:54.10) beating Beach Pirate in 2YOCNW1PM on September 17 at $2.90. This race will be harder than that win. Others look better chances.
