Northam Race 2 - Dianne Groves Ms Pace
THE DARK NIGHT (8) made it two wins from his last three runs a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by a head over 2190m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it two on the trot. DOUGS LEGACY (1) finished second last time out, beaten 8 metres, in a far better performance at Gloucester Park over 2130m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Won't find this any harder and he can take this out without surprising. KARAOKE STAR (7) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 2.5 metres at Central Wheatbelt over 1730m. APOLOGIZE (9) is worth some thought based on his third over 2190m at this track two runs ago. Include in all top 4 combos.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after showing early speed, behind Star Of Orion at this track over 1780m in a 4yo+ on August 11 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Alfa Jess at Gloucester Park over 2130m in a 4yo+ on August 18 at $14. Can go one better.

Comes here second-up after only six days break. Lacklustre first-up performance when 5th (Fr3) over 2130m at Central Wheatbelt, beaten 40 m by Soho Confidential (2:38.90) in 4yo+ on August 16 at $61. Is likely to need more racing.
