Dayton Raceway Race 10

1609m

Prize Money: $30,172

SAYINWHATIMTHINKIN (4) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 22 metres into sixth at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. COMBS HANOVER (6) turned in a much better run last time out when runner-up over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 0.8 metres. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. NICKEL AND DIME (1) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. TRIATHLON AS (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at Hoosier Park over 1609m.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m second behind Mooter Tooter at this track over 1609m NW6001L4 last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third again at this track same class on October 7. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following September 29 run. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr6) at this track (1:54.10) beating Poisonpoke in NW6001L4 on October 7 at $5.40. This race will be harder than that win. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 10th (Fr8) over 1609m at Oak Grove Racing, well beaten by Spy Coast (1:54.10) in KYSS4YOM on April 21 2025 at $43.49. Might be better for this run.
