Dayton Raceway Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609m
HUNTING GLORY (1) is racing well with 14 top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at Tioga Downs over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player again. STARBLAZER (7) ran fifth last start at Scioto Downs over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Expected to run well. CATCH MY DRAGON (5) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at Scioto Downs three-and-a-half weeks ago. THUNDER NATION (9) will be cherry-ripe after four runs back from a spell, the latest effort a sixth at Northfield Park three-and-a-half weeks ago.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Fearless Partners at Batavia Downs over 1609m in a NYSS on August 22 at $3.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Fearless Partners at Tioga Downs over 1609m in a EBC on August 30 at $30.20. Capable of testing this line-up.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 12 m as favourite (Fr1) at Northfield Park (1:54.10) beating Spring House Mac in NW2PMCD on September 30 at $3. Hasn't done much wrong recently, but this will test.

Returns from the paddock. His previous first-up run was successful when he won by 3 m as favourite (Fr1) at Pocono Downs (1:53.20) beating Panic Room in NW2PM CG on April 28 at $1.80. Will find this a tough assignment; prefer later.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Fr9) over 1609m at Scioto Downs beaten 18 m by Fire Run (1:51.00) in OHSS 3C CN on September 11 at $19.40. The start before 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at Scioto Downs beaten 15 m by Mossy's Dragon (1:52.10) in HGNW5001L4 on September 5 at $3.10. Suitably placed and can turn things around.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Luckychuckyfrmo'ky (1:53.20) in NW4PM on September 28 at $26.60. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr4) at Scioto Downs (1:51.30) beating Contour in HGNW2PMRLT on September 15 at $1.60. A better showing expected.
