Northfield Park Race 3 - Race 3
HUGS AND KISSES (4) did a good job to finish third two starts ago then recorded a commanding victory last time out, scoring by 7 metres over 1609m at this track. Leading hope in a similar assignment. BIRDIE SAID (3) finished ninth at Miami Valley Raceway two runs ago before finishing eighth at her latest appearance over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway, beaten 30 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CALIFORNIASTRANGER (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at The Meadows over 1609m. Hard to find fault. ANNA LOVES BANANAS (2) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Fear Danie at The Meadows over 1609m in a FMW3NW6EXT on March 26 at $25. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Mckira at The Meadows over 1609m in a FMNW3500L4 on April 1 at $1.20. Has the ability to play a major role.
