Northfield Park Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M

RKS CAPTAIN (2) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 40 metres, after a good third at this track the run prior. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and he can finish a lot closer this time. CATCHING UP (3) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. HOLEINTHEBOTTLE (1) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway three weeks ago.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Ballistic at this track over 1609m in a 10000CLNW1 on December 30 at $39.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Not Just Any Star at this track over 1609m in a 10000CLNW1 on January 20 at $4. Capable of a strong showing.
