Dayton Raceway Race 9

1609M

Stake: $31,233

TENNESSEE SMOOTH (2) made it two wins from his last five outings a week ago, getting home by 0.6 metres over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. BARS AND NOTES (3) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. VEL LICKETY SPLIT (5) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. Something for the Multiples: WHO DEY NATION (6)
