Dayton Raceway Race 6 - Race 6 - 1609m
ZIDANE KEMP (8) again drew a wide gate last start and failed to feature, beaten 10 metres into seventh at The Red Mile over 1609m. Must overcome another very wide draw. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. UNCLE MONEYBAGS (1) resumes here after closing his last campaign with a fifth at Scioto Downs on July 10. Expected to run well. GALEN ERSO (6) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at Scioto Downs two-and-a-half weeks ago. HARD SEVEN (5) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound second at this track over 1609m.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth behind Angel Nation at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a NW5501L4 on September 17 at $19.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Best Met Yet at this track over 1609m in a NW10PM-CL on September 28 at $15.40. Progressing well. Top prospects.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Best Met Yet (1:55.00) in NW10PM-CL on September 28 at $42.90. Showed ability the outing before when she won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr7) at Scioto Downs (1:55.30) beating Hey Trixey in NW6CDCL on September 16 at $3.50. Right in the mix.

Capable of better than what we have seen in two runs this prep. Two starts back 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 17 m by Best Met Yet (1:54.00) in NW10CDCL on September 17 at $26.60. In a similar race; best to wait for a return to form before considering.
