Northfield Park Race 12

1609M

Stake: $34,643

LEGACY AFFAIR (7) scored at her most recent outing by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Recent effort is good enough to take out a race like this. KILDARE KING (8) finished second last start, beaten 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m. Expecting a very good run. BEE FOREVER (1) finished second at this track last time. Consistent performer whose best form stacks up favourably so he must be included. CORNSTAR (3) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Caviar Gold at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on July 13 at $8.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Social Chatter at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on July 28 at $16.60. Rates highly.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following June 1 run. Last start won by 13 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:56.30) beating Kolin in NW2500L4 on June 22 at $1.05. This race will be harder than that win.
