Dayton Raceway Race 6

1609M

Prize Money: $42,618

PRINCE OF HONOR (5) was successful last start by 7 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. EASTER JACK (3) is in a purple patch of form with wins at his last five starts, most recently when he was too good over this track and distance a week ago. No excuses from this advantageous draw. His recent form is good enough to put him right in the finish. HELPFIRSTEDITION (2) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Hoosier Park. TRIATHLON AS (6) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at Hoosier Park on October 17.
