Dayton Raceway Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
LYONS BENJAMIN (2) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway, beaten 23 metres, after a modest eighth at Yonkers Raceway the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SABA ROCK (1) has had two runs this campaign without filling a placing. Was again unable to find the frame last time when he finished ninth over 1609m at Hoosier Park, beaten 40 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. MACADOODLEDOO (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. THREEMARGARITASHOT (5) is worth some thought despite his last-start eighth over 1609m at this track on October 1.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 9th (Fr5) over 1609m at Hoosier Park, beaten 40 m by Myboypank (1:52.00) in NW7500L4 on October 8 at $6.70. The run prior unplaced (Fr6) over 1609m at Hoosier Park, well beaten by Fly High Cruiser (1:50.40) in NW7500L4 on October 2 at $21.70. Worth another chance. Leading contender.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway, beaten 23 m by Churchviewfrankl (1:53.00) in NW5000L5 on October 13 at $6.58. At the previous start 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway beaten 25 m by Printville (1:54.00) in NW5000L5 on August 21 at $7.73. Good enough to turn things around.
