Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
KIRA (1) resumes after finishing eighth at her latest appearance at Scioto Downs on August 12. Has the benefit of a good draw. This doesn't look as hard so she is a major player. MOOLAH IN THE BANK (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 12 metres at this track over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. MIA TALEEFUH (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. FLIRTIN TOMI (4) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up when resuming over 1609m at this track last time out.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 45 m by Bluebird Kazoom (1:58.30) in FMNW1PMLC on April 8 at $69.50. The start before 5th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Bluebird Kazoom (1:59.30) in NW1PMCD on March 31 at $6.80. No surprise to see her bounce back to form.

Second-up here following a spell. Good run when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Bluebird Kazoom (1:57.40) in FMNW1PMLC on April 15 at $50.60. Will take a lot from that run and should be prominent.
