Northfield Park Race 2 - Race 2
MACMORRIS HANOVER (8) was in the money two runs ago then went well again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 4 metres from the winner in third. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. OBERTO (6) missed the placings for the second time in a row at the most recent outing when 90 metres away in eighth over 1609m at this track. Recent form includes a win at this track three starts back on March 29. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to prove tough to beat. SHINE ALL THE WAY (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. LOVING TOUCH (2) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Flip Five Stones at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on March 29 at $7.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Stumpy at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L4 on April 6 at $10.50. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Won three starts back at this track over 1609m NW6500L4 on March 22. Last start 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 10 m by Vandy Lane (1:56.10) in NW8000L4 on April 12 at $54. Doesn't need to improve much to feature in the finish.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Loving Touch at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on April 6 at $41.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Vandy Lane at this track over 1609m in a NW8000L4 on April 12 at $32.40. Can build on that fine effort last start.
