Dayton Raceway Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m
HILL EXPRESS (3) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 90 metres into eighth at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this more favourable starting position. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. COUNTRYDIAMONDMAMA (5) found the frame for the first time after five career runs last start, finishing third over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. MONI LEGEND (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at The Red Mile last time out. AFTER DARKNESS (2) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Has struggled of late. Last start 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, well beaten by Indigo Times (1:59.20) in 2YOFNW1PM on September 7 at $10.20. The start before 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, well beaten by Ds Alisson (1:57.10) in BSS 2F on August 20 at $10.80. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Fairy Wing at The Red Mile over 1609m in a WILDCAT on August 26 at $42.70. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Indigo Times at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a 2YOFNW1PM on September 7 at $72.80. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
