Northfield Park Race 6

1609M

Prize Money: $27,104

LADY RITA (7) is racing in fine form with five wins and four minor placings from the past nine runs. Went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and 12 metres from the winner. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Big chance based on that latest outing. SMOTHASTENESEWISKY (3) finished second at her most recent outing, beaten 1.5 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. LASTCHANCEFORLOVE (1) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at The Meadows. JUMPINGJOY N (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 11 m by Kele Kele (1:52.40) in FMNW9500L4 on February 18 at $22.80. Showed ability the run before when she won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at The Meadows (1:55.00) beating Californiastranger in FMW3NW5EXT on February 12 at $2.10. Doesn't need to improve much to figure in the finish.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Lily Grace Hill at this track over 1609m in a FMNW6500L4 on February 7 at $3. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Rockabillycockshut at this track over 1609m in a FMNW6500L4 on February 14 at $1.90. One of the key runners.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following February 7 run. Last start won by 4 m (Fr5) at this track (1:55.20) beating Crytel Shadow in FMNW5000L4 on February 14 at $3.90. This race will be harder than that win. Doesn't rate.
