Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
RODEO JET (4) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when he scored by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. His recent effort is good enough to take out a race like this. CRUISING ALONG (3) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. HANDY HILL (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: SOLSTICE BEGONIA (8)

Lines up again after a break of seven months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when ninth unwanted in the market behind Gumption Hanover. Not keen on his chances.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up won by a neck (Fr2) at this track (1:55.30) beating Sunnys In The Sea in BSS 2CP on July 19 at $5. Finds a nice race to launch the campaign.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Kobe Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMCD on April 7 at $59.30. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Cruising Along at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMCD on April 19 at $5.80. Nice effort last time. Winning hope.
