Northfield Park Race 1 - Race 1
THE GOLDEN GHOST (3) was in the money at Hoosier Park two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the talent to find the winners' list. ROCKIN PIPPA (1) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway two weeks ago. SMOKE ON THE WATER (5) ended last prep with a eighth at this track over 1609m five months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway beaten 30 m by Sweat It Out (1:55.00) in NW1PM on March 31 at $81.60. At the previous start 6th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Always Eighteen (1:58.10) in 10000CLNW1 on March 24 at $16.70. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.
