Scioto Downs Race 8 - Race 8
BIG RANGER (2) recent form has been hard to fault. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 6 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. DIABOLIC HILL (3) has been excellent of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 0.8 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. APEX (6) finished second at this track last time. Consistent performer whose best form stacks up favourably so he must be included. INEXPRESSABLE (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Last start 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 7 m by Diabolic Hill (1:51.20) in BR CROWN E on October 17 at $9.90. At the run before 4th (Fr2) over 1609m at The Red Mile beaten 9 m by Nix Nacken (1:50.00) in KY FUT-G1 on October 3 at $27.61. Doesn't need to improve much to feature in the finish.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Philadelphia both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.8 m (Fr5) at this track (1:51.20) beating Apex in BR CROWN E on October 17 at $4.80. Going very well and deserves top billing.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Nix Nacken at The Red Mile over 1609m in a KY FUT-G1 on October 3 at $3.51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Diabolic Hill at this track over 1609m in a BR CROWN E on October 17 at $2.50. Capable of testing this line-up.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Big Ranger (1:51.10) in BR CROWN E on October 17 at $5.20. Two runs back won by 2.25 m (Fr1) at The Red Mile (1:50.00) beating Read The Room in KY FUT-G1 on October 3 at $18.74. Racing very well. Strong claims.

Two runs back won by a head as favourite at Mohawk Park (1:52.00) beating Stormont Shanlyboy in 3yo OPEN CG on October 10 at $1.40 at the bell was leading. Win doesn't look likely.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Big Ranger (1:51.10) in BR CROWN E on October 17 at $8.40. Before that 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at The Red Mile beaten 2.25 m by Nix Nacken (1:50.00) in KY FUT-G1 on October 3 at $68.15. Unlikely to threaten.
