Dayton Raceway Race 13 - Race 13 - 1609m
WHERE THERES SMOKE (8) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 21 metres into seventh at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is in the right race to return to form. CAST NO STONES (5) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Meets a comparable field and she can grab that well-deserved win. TRIPLE NICKEL (2) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Should run a big race. DAN'S VICTORY (1) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.
