Northfield Park Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M

LOUIE THE HORSE N (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 13 metres at this track over 1609m. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of playing a significant role. HEART OF ROCK (1) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 50 metres into ninth at this track over 1609m. Taking on a better field but from this better draw he is capable of running a huge race. PIZZAGAINA (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SHARK PLAY (2) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score over 1609m at this track.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Backing up quickly after 9th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 50 m by The Real Way (1:53.20) in NW2500L4 on March 1 at $137.30. The run before 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 40 m by Pirates Alley (1:53.40) in NW2500L4 on February 18 at $29.20. Good enough to turn things around.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 24 m by Caption This (1:56.10) in NW2500L4 on February 25 at $6. Showed ability the race before when he won by 3 m (Fr2) at this track (1:56.20) beating Ogradys First Man in NW1500L4 on February 18 at $5.10. Worth consideration.
