Northfield Park Race 11 - Race 11
BAXTER TOUGH (5) won at Miami Valley Raceway two runs ago before finishing third at her latest appearance over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway, beaten 8 metres. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. IMA BEACH GIRL (1) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a tougher race but a trip to the winners' circle is not out of the question. ODDS ON CATHERINE (2) ended last prep with a win at Scioto Downs over 1609m eight months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. I WANT MO (4) was not a factor last start but will be ready to peak third-up from a spell from a nice draw.
