Northfield Park Race 11 - Race 11 - 1609M
SWEET ILLOUSION (4) won two back at this track from a nice gate. Drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 9 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Won't find this any harder and she can finish a lot closer this time. HIGH FLYIN' FILLY (6) continued her impressive run of recent efforts last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and she can go right on with the job. LADY RITA (7) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. POLK SALAD ANNIE (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4 metres at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Morning Miracle (1:54.00) in FMOPEN HCP on March 28 at $15.70. Showed ability the run before when she won by 16 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.00) beating Love That Smile in FMNW6500L4 on March 21 at $1.60. Rates highly. Big chance.
