Northam Race 5 - Nhrc Thanks Its Sponsors Novice Driver Series (No.6) Ms Pace
THE DARK NIGHT (1) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 40 metres into ninth at Gloucester Park over 1730m. Will enjoy a nice run from this more favourable starting position. Has the talent to find the winners' list. REDDY TO FLY (9) produced yet another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2242m at Narrogin, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. LIL MISS DELIGHT (3) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 2130m at Gloucester Park a week ago. SPORTING GRACE (7) disappointed last time when seventh over 1177m at Pinjarra. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Backs up 4 days after failing to impress last start; was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 1730m at Gloucester Park, beaten 40 m by Major Miki Whitby (2:03.60) in 4yo+ on August 7 at $151. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 3 m win after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:44.90) beating Velvet Shadow in 4yo+ on August 1 at $5. Leading contender on best form.

Two runs back 8th (Fr5) over 2190m at this track beaten 17 m by Rona May (2:44.80) in 4yo+ on August 1 at $31. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Sun Publisher at Narrogin over 2242m in a 4yo+ on August 8 at $34. Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Sr3) over 2130m at Gloucester Park beaten 3.5 m by Essence Of Royalty (2:37.90) in 4yo+ on August 4 at $8. Sure to play a major role.
