Dayton Raceway Race 16

1609m

Prize Money: $10,036

KNOB CREEK MONI (6) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 metres, after a modest ninth at Scioto Downs the run prior. Has the talent to take this out. BUCKEYE BARON (8) resumes here after closing his last campaign with a fourth at Northfield Park on August 1. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expected to run well. JUDGE LETT (4) is capable of better after finishing well back when resuming over 1609m at this track five days ago. WHISTLE ONTHE WIND (5) was well held when 95 metres from the winner on debut three-and-a-half months ago over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Can do a lot better this time in work.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Drink Up Drink Up (1:55.00) in NW6001L4 on September 29 at $40.40. The run before 9th (Fr7) over 1609m at Scioto Downs beaten 40 m by Big Ranger (1:51.30) in OHSS 3C FN-R1 on September 12 at $98.70. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.
