Northfield Park Race 2

Race 2

Stake: $128,388

TOM LARGO (1) recent form has been very consistent. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at The Meadows, getting home by 8 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. SOULFUL SAUL (2) was successful at his most recent outing by 4 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. BITCOIN KING (4) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Scioto Downs. SPECIAL MONI (3) is next best following a run of five top-three finishes, the latest at Scioto Downs a week-and-a-half ago.

Three-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at The Meadows and Scioto Downs both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 8 m win as favourite (Fr3) at The Meadows (1:51.40) beating Sarah's Mission in W5NW8EXTPM on August 14 at $1.20. Recent form hard to fault and is again a strong contender.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Tom Largo at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a OSF 3C on August 1 at $36.70. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Rose Run Boom at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a NW4PMRLT on August 13 at $3.40. Strong winning hope.

Last start 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at Scioto Downs beaten 12 m by Knob Creek Moni (1:53.30) in OSF 3C on August 1 at $15.30. Before that, 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 55 m by Tom Largo (1:54.10) in OHSS 3C on July 12 at $13. Wasn't at his best last time - can improve.

Well-beaten 23 days ago at this track over 1609m, and two back 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 30 m by Zane Trace (1:54.10) in BSS 3C on July 18 at $50.30. Recent efforts only moderate - hard to see him featuring in the finish.
