Northfield Park Race 6

1609M

Prize Money: $27,656

HELIUM N (6) scored by 9 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past four runs. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. OUT OF ICE (5) is unbeaten this campaign in four appearances. Scored most recently by 1.5 metres over 1609m at The Meadows. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of continuing his outstanding form. THE REAL WAY (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m. MIKI SHAN N (3) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track eight days ago.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following March 22 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.9 m (Fr6) at this track (1:54.40) beating Winston in NW6500L4 on March 29 at $4.40. This race will be harder than that win. Needs something easier.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr6) at The Meadows (1:50.30) beating Moment Is Here in OPEN HCP on March 27 at $1.30. Two runs back won by 4 m (Fr7) at The Meadows (1:50.20) beating Moment Is Here in OPEN HCP on March 20 at $2.70. Has been relentless of late and can get the job done again.
