Scioto Downs Race 7 - Race 7
BIG RANGER (2) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 25 metres into sixth at The Red Mile over 1609m. Finds a nice race and from this nice draw can turn things around. READ THE ROOM (3) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 1609m at The Red Mile, beaten 2.25 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. This doesn't look as hard so he is set to continue his impressive recent form. NIX NACKEN (8) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 2.25 metres at The Red Mile over 1609m. SPENCER HANOVER (6) is worth some thought despite his last-start eighth over 1609m at The Red Mile on October 3.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr10) over 1609m at The Red Mile, beaten 90 m by Nix Nacken (1:50.00) in KY FUT-G1 on October 3 at $130.20. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Hoosier Park (1:52.00) beating Mr Big Spender in LANGLEY on September 25 at $1.40. Top-three finish is well within his grasp.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Nix Nacken at The Red Mile over 1609m in a KY FUT-G1 on October 3 at $1.71. Raced better the start before that where he posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr9) at this track (1:51.30) beating Tom Largo in OHSS 3C FN-R1 on September 12 at $1.05. Should be right in the finish.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following September 11 run. Last start won by 16 m (Fr4) at Pocono Downs (1:54.00) beating David Seaman in W6-9PM on September 26 at $5.30. This race will be harder than that win. Will be tested in this company.
