Northfield Park Race 9

1609M

Stake: $14,364

HEAT CHECK (2) finished fourth last start, beaten 15 metres at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. OLD TOWN ROAD (1) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Big chance based on those recent efforts. ALWAYS ON THE HUNT (7) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished second at this track over 1609m. CABOT BEACH (5) disappointed last time when sixth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Barbados at this track over 1609m in a NW3500L4 on July 7 at $6.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Elver Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW3500L4 on July 20 at $15.70. Can improve.
