Northfield Park Race 12 - Race 12
SPAAAANZANO (8) made it two wins from his last three outings a week ago, getting home by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. MACMORRIS HANOVER (5) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 1609m. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. DISGRUNTLED CARL (9) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. STUMPY (4) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Don't Take My Keys (1:55.10) in OPEN HCP on April 12 at $35.30. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 8 m win as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:58.00) beating Bluebird Revival in NW5000L4 on April 6 at $1.40. Solid top-three claims.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Don't Take My Keys at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on April 12 at $8.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Logo at this track over 1609m in a NW8000L4 on April 19 at $4.30. Strong winning hope.

Well beaten last start by Spaaaanzano, a rival who he faces again; when 45 metres seventh at this track over 1609m in a OPEN race on April 19. Can't have on that basis.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by Spaaaanzano (1:55.00) in OPEN on April 19 at $7.20. Before that 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 3 m by Don't Take My Keys (1:55.10) in OPEN HCP on April 12 at $13.10. Shouldn't trouble the top few.

Hard to fault of late. Last start posted a big 8 m win (Fr5) at this track (1:55.00) beating Emerald's Legacy in OPEN on April 19 at $3. Going well enough to take care of these.
