Northfield Park Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
BIG RANGER (4) scored two runs back then registered a commanding victory last start, scoring by 15 metres over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly keep the ball rolling. READY RUSSELL (3) saluted two runs back then registered a comfortable victory last time out, scoring by 9 metres over 1609m at Scioto Downs. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. MAX THE MIGHTY (5) is a genuine type who was a solid second most recently at Scioto Downs. Among the better chances in what looks a suitable assignment. TOM LARGO (1) was safely held last time out at the second run back from a spell. Open to plenty of improvement with a good draw assisting his chances. Something for the Multiples: UNCLE DANNY (7)
