Northfield Park Race 13 - Race 13
SFORZA (5) continued his impressive run of recent efforts last start when runner-up over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 3 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can add to the solid recent record. MACMORRIS HANOVER (1) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. DON'T TAKE MY KEYS (9) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. OBERTO (3) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m second behind Bur Bun at The Meadows over 1609m OPEN HCP last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres third again at The Meadows same class on March 19. Racing well and is a strong chance.
