Northfield Park Race 11

Race 11

Prize Money: $27,235

HELIUM N (7) produced another fine effort last start when he scored over 1609m at this track, coming in 1.5 metres ahead of his rivals. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. HELLABALOU (2) hard to fault recently. Scored two back at this track then lined up for a hat trick and finished 1.5 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track at the latest run a week ago. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. BIRTHDAY (4) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished fourth over 1609m at The Meadows last time out. MIKI SHAN N (6) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 23 m by Helium (1:50.30) in OPEN HCP on May 3 at $6.60. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:50.00) beating Ammo in OPEN HCP on April 19 at $1.90. Improvement anticipated on the last outing.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:50.30) beating Hellabalou in OPEN HCP on May 3 at $1.20. Great chance to win again.
