Scioto Downs Race 7 - Race 7
BIRR CASTLE (2) is racing well with eight top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at The Red Mile over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. It doesn't get any easier but she is capable of adding to the fine recent form. BLUE RANGER (3) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved her win last start, scoring by 3 metres over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. NEVIS PEAK (1) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. TWO DAY HANGOVER (4) must be respected after scoring last start by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth behind Wrong Sounds Right at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 2yo OPEN on September 26 at $14.45. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Blue Ranger at this track over 1609m in a BR CROWN E on October 16 at $2.80. Rates highly. Big chance.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m third behind A Tale Of Kemp at The Red Mile over 1609m INSS-G3 last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second again at The Red Mile in BLUEGRASS-G3 on October 2. Rates highly so expect a bold run.
