Northfield Park Race 11

1609M

Prize Money: $31,783

LAKE CHARLES (1) won at this track two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a much better performance. SURE THING CAPTAIN (8) finished second two starts ago then registered a comfortable victory last time out, scoring by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. Must overcome a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can get the prize again. MUFFERAW JOE (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Must be included. BACK IN MY DAY (4) is better than his first-up seventh over 1609m at this track a week ago.
