Northfield Park Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609M
CHECK ON ME (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 35 metres at this track over 1609m. Good enough to be right in the finish. SHARK PLAY (2) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 metres. Best recent result was a win at this track three starts ago over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. DCROCKINMOONDANCER (7) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track eight days ago. WHITE HAIR ROCKS (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on March 4.

Last start 4th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Mister Marvalous (1:54.10) in NW1500L4 on March 8 at $68. At his previous start 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 45 m by Groovy Joe (1:53.30) in NW1500L4 on March 1 at $49. Will give a good account.

Didn't impress first-up at this course and distance beaten 35 m fourth behind Mister Marvalous in a NW1500L4 on March 4. Capable of a better showing than the first-up effort.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Groovy Joe at this track over 1609m in a NW2500L4 on February 24 at $38.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Studio Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW1500L4 on March 3 at $1.70. Looks the testing material.
