Northfield Park Race 12 - Race 12 - 1609M
AYR BALMORAL (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 25 metres at this track over 1609m. Finds a nice race and will be a major force. BISMARKDUPLESSIS N (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 8 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this more favourable starting position. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. MIDWIND BEACH BOY (2) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. LAKE CHARLES (4) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by My Friend Mel (1:54.40) in NW6500L4 on February 9 at $4.10. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:56.20) beating Fox Valley Monaco in NW5000L4 on February 1 at $1.40. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Moneyman Mikki at this track over 1609m in a OPEN IIHCP on February 1 at $16.10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Celtic Spirit at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on February 9 at $8. Nicely placed to take this out.

Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Moneyman Mikki (1:54.40) in OPEN IIHCP on February 1 at $12.30. Definite winning chance.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:54.30) beating Be A Lucky Star in NW5000L4 on February 9 at $2.60. Despite winning form this is likely to prove too tough.
