Dayton Raceway Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
DELESTON (4) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 4.5 metres. Good enough to take out a race like this. LOVERS TROUBLE (2) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. CAVIART EDEN (3) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at Hoosier Park over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Seaside Sailing at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a SA12500CL on September 4 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Seaside Sailing at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a SA12500CL on September 17 at $3.60. Has the right credentials to take this out.
