Dayton Raceway Race 12 - Race 12 - 1609m
NATURALLY GIFTED A (3) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 23 metres victory over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. KAGE DANIEL (2) finished second last start, beaten 0.6 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. ROCK WITH JK (1) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track nine days ago. PREMIER ROMEO (4) must be considered after he finished runner-up when resuming over 1609m at Hoosier Park seven weeks ago.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Real Thriller at this track over 1609m in a NW6001L4 on October 10 at $28.30. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Bismarkduplessis at this track over 1609m in a NW4501L4 on October 22 at $6.40. Capable of taking this out.

Having his second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at Hoosier Park, beaten 1.5 m by Play Me Rock (1:50.30) in NW3000L4 on September 12 at $10.80. Plenty of scope for improvement and is one of the main chances.
