Northfield Park Race 14

Race 14

Prize Money: $19,594

ODDS ON PHIL (9) scored at Scioto Downs two runs ago before having his colours lowered when sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 metres. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. SMOOTH BAHT A (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 8 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. ROCK THE HILL (8) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at The Meadows two weeks ago. CUPID SHUFFLE (4) must be respected after scoring last start by 3 metres at Harrington Raceway over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Master Yossi at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L4 on June 28 at $12.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Risenshine Seaside at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L4 on July 13 at $2.40. Should be right in the finish.

Last start won by 3 m (Fr3) at Harrington Raceway (1:53.40) beating Aloha Blue Chip in HGW4/7PML on July 6 at $2.80. Worth plenty of thought.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Up In Place (1:53.10) in OHSS 3C on July 6 at $10.50. Showed ability the run before when he won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr2) at Scioto Downs (1:51.20) beating Catch The Killer in BSS 3C on June 27 at $1.60. Has the ability to take this out.
