Northfield Park Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
GOTTA HAVE RHYTHM (1) turned in another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. ANNIE L (5) finished fifth last start, beaten 22 metres at this track over 1609m. Expecting a very good run. KING OF CASH (2) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago. SIR CACTUS JAX (7) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1609m at this track.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Loving Touch at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMCD on March 4 at $1.80. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Chicago Hall at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMCD on March 11 at $3.50. The testing material off the pegs.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following March 4 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a neck as favourite (Fr3) at The Meadows (1:57.10) beating Webflow in CDCLMW1NW4 on March 11 at $1.80. This race will be harder than that win. Not doing enough of late to threaten.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1609m, 7 days ago before that 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 50 m by Quality Kid (1:57.10) in 30000CLNW7 on March 4 at $61. Likely to struggle again.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Chicago Hall (1:59.20) in NW4PMCD on March 11 at $20.80. Showed ability the run before when she posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (2:00.40) beating Sweet Vacation in NW2PMCD on March 4 at $1.50. Cannot be left out of calculations.
