Northfield Park Race 6

1609M

Stake: $14,277

KING OF THE USA (1) had to call on all reserves to salute last start over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.9 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field so he can keep the ball rolling. BUSTER'S SHADY (5) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. CATCHTHESENSATION (2) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1609m at this track.
