Dayton Raceway Race 5

1609m

Stake: $44,182

AIMING TO PLEASE (3) had been out of the money in recent runs before the latest appearance when he scored by 0.8 metres over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is good enough to take this out. KRAZY CAVIAR (5) should be ready to peak now after finishing second over 1609m at Northfield Park six-and-a-half weeks ago. Expect him to give this a real shake. SERG GARCIA (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Northfield Park six-and-a-half weeks ago. Something for the Multiples: LETS GO LONG (2)

Well-beaten 23 days ago at Northfield Park over 1609m, before that 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 24 m by Explosivetom (1:58.00) in NW2PMCD on September 2 at $11.60. Hard to recommend him on recent form.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 3 m as favourite (Fr4) at The Meadows (1:57.10) beating Tag's Obsession in 2YOCNW1EXT on September 3 at $1.60. Two runs back 4th (Fr2) over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 30 m by Easter Bb (1:59.10) in BSS 2C on August 19 at $19.40. Needs to do more. Others better.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Senor Julio at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a BSS 2C on July 23 at $12.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind East King Street at Northfield Park over 1609m in a BSS 2C on August 19 at $52. Progressing well. Top prospects.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at Scioto Downs beaten 0.6 m by Senor Julio (1:58.30) in BSS 2C on July 23 at $4.20. Before that 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 24 m by Easter Bb (1:57.00) in BSS 2C on July 14 at $8.40. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
