Northfield Park Race 11

1609M

Prize Money: $16,820

IDEAL FUNDING (2) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 65 metres into ninth at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and from this nice draw can turn things around. AINT EASY BEING ME (3) was out of the money two runs back at Scioto Downs then was at his best last start to score by 3 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of another big performance. ALWAYS ON THE HUNT (6) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. Y S MATHIS BRO (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m.
