Northfield Park Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $17,689

UNCLE BOBBY (3) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Primary contender based on recent form. MATANZAS CREEK (2) has been hard to fault of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs, getting home by 2.25 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. HIGHEST HONORS (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. LARRY LEGEND (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at The Red Mile last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Hardt Of A King at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMCD on August 17 at $8.80. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Kobe Hanover at this track over 1609m in a 30000CLNW7 on August 31 at $11. Can improve. Sure to be in the finish.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Scioto Downs both over 1609m. Last start won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr3) at Scioto Downs (1:52.00) beating Matt And Luke in HGNW2CDCL on August 27 at $1.20. Racing in great heart and another win is on the cards.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Kobe Hanover at this track over 1609m in a 30000CLNW7 on August 24 at $8.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Catch The Express at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMCD on August 31 at $2.10. Should be right in the finish.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 6 m (Fr1) at this track (1:54.10) beating Rollin Sevens in 22500CLNW4 on August 31 at $6.20. Hasn't done much wrong recently, but this will test.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at The Red Mile beaten 18 m by Benny B Hill (1:49.20) in GOLDENROD on August 30 at $29.88. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 9 m (Fr6) at this track (1:53.40) beating Spooky Lou in NW4PMCD on August 24 at $4.20. Genuine contender.
