Northfield Park Race 4

Race 4

Stake: $11,586

FOREVER A LION AS (5) ran eighth last start at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m, beaten 90 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. MAGICAL JOURNEY (4) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back. BEST TIME HANOVER (2) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Bjornsson (1:56.30) in NW2500L4 on May 5 at $82.20. Before that 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway beaten 35 m by All Star Swan (1:54.20) in NW2001L4 on April 9 at $14.60. Happy enough to dismiss.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Jett Rink (1:56.00) in NW3500L4 on April 29 at $33.70. The run previous 7th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Met Your Request (1:59.00) in NW5000L4 on April 19 at $10.90. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.
