Dayton Raceway Race 7

1609m

Prize Money: $27,299

NATIONAL TIER (4) won two back at this track from a nice gate. Drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 14 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. His last run should be overlooked. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. COURTSHIP (5) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Good enough to take out a race like this. SOHO SANTORINI A (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. SEASIDE DELIGHT (1) is in the mix at his first run since finishing fifth over 1609m at Scioto Downs four months ago.

Last start 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Hoosier Park, beaten 30 m by Quixote (1:50.00) in CLHDC20/25 on September 12 at $4. Two runs back 2nd (Fr8) over 1609m at Hoosier Park, beaten 0.6 m by Bettor B Sirius (1:51.10) in CLHDC20/25 on September 4 at $9.70. Likely to find it too tough.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 14 m by Primary Driver (1:51.40) in SA30-40CL on October 10 at $5.10. Showed ability the run before when he won by 6 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:50.40) beating High On The Hill in SA30-40CL on October 2 at $2.20. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Dancing Stranger at this track over 1609m in a NW8001L4 on October 10 at $29.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Creekside Johnny at this track over 1609m in a SA30-40CL on October 15 at $7. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind American Classic at Hoosier Park over 1609m in a 30-40000CL on October 2 at $32.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Real Thriller at this track over 1609m in a NW6001L4 on October 10 at $5.90. One of the key runners.
