Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M
OBERTO (5) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 6 metres. Good enough to take out a race like this. FLEMSTEEN (2) maintained the recent momentum last start when he scored by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Stepping up a level this time but he is good enough to take this out. SPITFIRE OVERSEES (3) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished third at this track over 1609m. MACMORRIS HANOVER (7) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Oberto at this track over 1609m in a OPENII HCP on March 22 at $5.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Oberto at this track over 1609m in a NW10000L4 on March 29 at $5.70. Has the ability to play a major role.

10-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 6 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:55.30) beating Gabbys Rockytop in NW10000L4 on March 29 at $2.60. Going very well and deserves top billing.
