Dayton Raceway Race 1

1609M

Prize Money: $21,309

ALTA ENGEN A (6) continued the strong recent form when he scored last start over 1609m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. WHAT AN OCEAN VIEW (4) scored at this track three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when fifth over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 metres. Good enough to take out a race like this. GUNS BLAZIN (3) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. HARDT AT WORK (2) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on October 11. Something for the Multiples: GUNS BLAZIN' (3)

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following September 25 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a neck (Fr2) at this track (1:53.00) beating Kage Daniel in NW1501L4 on October 11 at $6.60. This race will be harder than that win.
