Northfield Park Race 6

1609M

Prize Money: $14,551

ITWASAVERYGOODYEAR (5) finished third last time out, beaten 3 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. PAPA VERLIN (3) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when he finished 15 metres away in second over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. SIR MALACHI (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. HEZA HOT RODDIN (1) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

The run previous 8th (Sr1) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway beaten 40 m by Scares Me (1:54.30) in NW2PM on January 27 at $43.20. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Stage Dancer at this track over 1609m in a 22500CLNW4 on January 27 at $2.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Captain Of The Sea at this track over 1609m in a 22500CLNW4 on February 3 at $3.30. Should be right in the finish.
