Northfield Park Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M
OUR BENSON N (1) finished second last start, beaten 9 metres at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. LAKE CHARLES (5) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. NIGHT SHADOW (8) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. CYCLONE BANNER N (3) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Helium at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on February 22 at $15.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Midwind Beach Boy at this track over 1609m in a OPEN IIHCP on March 1 at $6.20. Has the ability to play a major role.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at The Meadows beaten 20 m by Buckeyebollinger (1:50.40) in NW9850L4 on February 27 at $88.30. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 6 m (Fr3) at this track (1:55.20) beating Caption This in NW3500L4 on February 18 at $6.20. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Respect.
