Northfield Park Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M
GROOVY JOE (1) has been racing without luck. Didn't raise backers hopes last time out when fifth over 1609m at The Meadows. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Recent efforts are not a true indication. Good enough to put himself right in the finish. CAPTAIN T HANOVER (4) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 8 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. LOVIN ON THE BEACH (9) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. BETTER OPTION (7) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at The Meadows.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 6 m by Er Rocky (1:54.10) in NW2050L4 on February 6 at $7.70. The run before 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at The Meadows beaten 19 m by Regal Idea (1:54.00) in NW2000L4 on January 23 at $7.70. Anticipating a much better performance this time.

Last start 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 m by Big Boss Hill (1:56.30) in NW2500L4 on February 11 at $4.50. At the run before solid effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 m by Lancaster Hill (1:56.30) in NW2500L4 on February 4 at $36.10. Will give a good account.

Didn't do much last start, 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at The Meadows well beaten by Gannon's Veloucity (1:54.30) in W2NW5EXTPM on January 24 at $57.90. Before that 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track well beaten by American Warrior (1:55.10) in NW4PMCD on January 13 at $41.50. Not doing enough to threaten the top few.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Noble Dale at this track over 1609m in a NW2500L4 on February 4 at $16.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Big Boss Hill at this track over 1609m in a NW2500L4 on February 11 at $43.30. Rates highly. Big chance.
