Northfield Park Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M
QUIK AND SHADY (3) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 45 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Meets a comparable field and from a far better starting position he can play a major role. SPIRT AND HEART (1) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 95 metres into ninth at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Won't find this any harder and he can finish a lot closer this time. EXTRA CRUNCHY (6) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. LAKESIDE BUDDY (5) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at this track eight days ago.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 40 m by Mister Marvalous (1:53.40) in NW1500L4 on March 4 at $57.70. Before that 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Islandspecialmajor (1:59.00) in NW1500L4 on February 25 at $5.80. Win doesn't look likely.

Returns to racing after a spell of 12 weeks. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when seventh unwanted in the market behind Spirt And Heart. Hasn't won for two years, so it's hard to be over-confident.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Mister Marvalous (1:53.40) in NW1500L4 on March 4 at $8.60. Capable of another big run.
