Northfield Park Race 4

1609M

Prize Money: $15,121

SCOTTISH (2) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. MUCHO MACHO (4) finished seventh last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 metres, after a modest sixth at this track the run prior. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. IRISH COFFEE (1) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. NEVERLOSE FELIX (7) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago. Something for the Multiples: SHADY MAPLE ALSTAR (5)

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 14 m by Bigly (2:00.10) in NW5000L4 on February 22 at $19.10. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.25 m (Sr1) at this track (2:01.00) beating Sizzling Sonata in NW3500L4 on February 4 at $30. Capable of a strong showing.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Don't Take My Keys (1:58.10) in NW6500L4 on February 22 at $22.30. The run before 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Flight Number One (1:57.40) in NW6500L4 on February 15 at $10.30. Can turn things around in this suitable contest.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Met Your Request (1:58.10) in NW8000L4 on February 22 at $44.70. Before that 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Supreme Rockette (1:57.00) in NW5000L4 on February 15 at $10.10. Might find this too tough.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Oberto at this track over 1609m in a NW10000L4 on February 9 at $80.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Bigly at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L4 on February 22 at $12.50. Plenty to like about his prospects.
