Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8

LATHER UP ATHENS (1) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 16 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. NINETYNINEPROBLEMS (6) made it two wins from two runs this prep last start when he got the cash by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. ULTIMATE CATCH (5) is in line for another win at his third run back from a break after scoring over 1609m at The Meadows a week-and-a-half ago. Stick with him. WORKNUPALATHER (4) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track a week ago.
