Northfield Park Race 11 - Race 11 - 1609M

SURE THING CAPTAIN (8) has been excellent of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 0.9 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. BISMARKDUPLESSIS N (6) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres, after a modest seventh at this track the run prior. Has the class to take care of this field. POCKET THE CASH N (3) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can make amends. ALWAYS ANDREW (7) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Base Stealer at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L4 on February 9 at $9.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Sure Thing Captain at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on February 15 at $3.70. Has the ability to take this out.

Six-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and The Meadows both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Sr1) at this track (1:54.00) beating Mufferaw Joe in NW6500L4 on February 15 at $2.60. No reason he cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.
