Northfield Park Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609M

NEWS CASTER (7) Ran well when 2nd last time at The Meadows. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Aaron Merriman is a bonus. Deserves consideration. ALMANAC (8) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 5m last time here. Gets a chance to win. EXPRESSO JOE (5) Made ground when closing off to finish 5th last run at the track. Will be hitting the line strongly. One of the major players. PERFECT HIGH (6) Right up there last run at this venue. Could run into the placings.
