Scioto Downs Race 9 - Race 9
BRANDON BLVD (4) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Stepping up a level this time but he is good enough to take this out. GENTLEMAN'S CLUB (1) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 2.25 metres over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. MELILLO (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. AL PAPI (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on October 17.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Pocono Downs both over 1609m. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr2) at this track (1:48.30) beating Sweet Lovin Lou in BR CROWN E on October 17 at $27.30. Recent form hard to fault.

Is on a seven-day back-up and has been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Strong performance last time out 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 3 m by Gentleman's Club (1:48.30) in BR CROWN E on October 17 at $47. Needs to lift.
