Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8

LAKE CHARLES (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last seven starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. His recent form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. GROOVY JOE (4) had been about the mark in recent runs before the latest appearance when he scored by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. TROSA A (5) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 11 metres at this track over 1609m. COCOSDREAM A (6) could only manage eighth when resuming over 1609m at this track last start. Can do better.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Hellabalou at this track over 1609m in a NW8000L4 on April 6 at $2.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Hellabalou at this track over 1609m in a OPENII HCP on April 12 at $7.80. Hard to fault on current form.
