Dayton Raceway Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m
WHATCHAGONNADO (7) finished runner-up last start, beaten a neck, in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. SUGAR APPLE N (1) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track a week ago. NO LOU ZING (5) is better than his last-start ninth over 1609m at this track.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Night Shadow at this track over 1609m in a NW3251L4 on November 7 at $8.90. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by The Bird Dance (1:52.20) in NW2251L4 on October 22 at $3.90. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1609m, 7 days ago before that 7th over 1609m at Flamboro Downs was 7th- at the bell, beaten 11 m by Artie's Ideal (1:53.10) in G on October 15 at $60.05. Likely to struggle again.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind The Bird Dance at this track over 1609m in a NW4501L4 on October 31 at $32.80. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Around Midnight at this track over 1609m in a NW2251L4 on November 7 at $1.90. Capable of a strong showing.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following October 9 run. Last start posted a big 9 m win (Fr2) at this track (1:53.30) beating Greatest Ending in NW1501L4 on October 20 at $23.30. This race will be harder than that win. Not keen.

Nine-year-old entire showed improvement last start. Posted a big 12 m win (Fr6) at this track (1:54.30) beating Robin's Art in NW1501L4 on November 6 at $4.20. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into tenth behind Crunch Time at this track over 1609m in a NW1501L4 on October 30 at $9.20. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.
