Northfield Park Race 11

1609M

Stake: $24,504

AMERICAN FLING (1) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Primary contender if he is at his best. ALTA ENGEN (8) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 10 metres. Expect him to be prominent. DOWNBYTHEDANCECLUB (4) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs. RISENSHINE SEASIDE (7) must be respected after scoring last start by 3 metres at this track over 1609m.
