Northfield Park Race 8

1609M

Prize Money: $31,008

ANNA LOVES BANANAS (1) ran second last start at The Meadows over 1609m, beaten 3 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. It doesn't get any easier but she is good enough to take this out. RYLEE TOO (3) is racing well with nine top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. LEGENDARY L (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 11 metres at Scioto Downs over 1609m. WITCHING BLUE CHIP (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at Scioto Downs last time out.
