Northfield Park Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $106,990

NORTH RIM (7) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last four starts including a third most recently at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the impressive recent efforts. JETT JAMES (4) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 3 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. ATLANTIC IVEY (2) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Should run a big race. ROUTE FIFTY (1) is a big chance after debuting with a solid win last time out over 1609m at Scioto Downs.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Night Surfer at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a OHSS 2C on July 25 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Don'ttruckwithme at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a OSF 2C on August 1 at $11.60. Can improve. Very hard to beat.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m second behind Night Surfer at Scioto Downs over 1609m OSF 2C last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third again at Scioto Downs in OHSS 2C on July 25. Racing well and is a winning chance.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Night Surfer at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a OHSS 2C on July 25 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Night Surfer at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a OSF 2C on August 1 at $3.40. Has the right credentials to take this out.
