Northfield Park Race 12 - Race 12 - 1609M
CHARGE ME UP (1) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 21 metres into eighth at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and from this ideal draw can make amends. DE DRAGON (9) is flying at present with two successive wins to his name, most recently at this track a week ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. LANESIDE SPORTSTAR (5) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 10 m by Baleville Bomber (1:54.40) in 30000CLNW7 on March 10 at $14.50. Two runs back won by 4 m (Fr2) at this track (1:56.10) beating Nickelback in NW2PMCD on March 3 at $3.10. Capable of another big run.

Four-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 7 m (Sr1) at this track (1:56.00) beating Laneside Sportstar in NW4PMCD on March 10 at $4.70. Racing in great heart and another win is on the cards.
