Northfield Park Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
NO FREE LUNCH (3) ran second last start at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m, beaten 4 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has the ability to take care of this field. PIRATES ALLEY (5) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his victory last start, scoring by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can salute once again. ONLYTHETUFFSURVIVE (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. BORN TO RAMBLE (2) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won a big 4 m win (Fr2) at this track (1:57.00) beating Onlythetuffsurvive in 8000CL on January 28 at $5.70. No surprise if he made it two in a row.

Well beaten last start by Pirates Alley, who he meets again; when 19 metres fifth at this track over 1609m in a 8000CL race on January 28. Can't have on that basis.
