Northfield Park Race 4 - Race 4
NICKELBACK (9) could only manage second last start over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 2.25 metres, after a win at the previous appearance over 1609m at The Meadows. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Meets a similar line up and he can make amends. PAPA VERLIN (3) finished third last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. DE DRAGON (4) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Well-beaten 13 days ago at this track over 1609m, before that 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 50 m by Charge Me Up (1:53.40) in NW4PMCD on March 17 at $19.50. Recent efforts only moderate - hard to see him featuring in the finish.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway beaten 24 m by Burnout (1:52.10) in NW6001L4 on April 26 at $68.40. Showed ability the run before when he won by 2.25 m (Fr5) at this track (1:55.30) beating Mongolian Hero N in NW3500L4 on April 12 at $39.30. Top-three finish is well within his grasp.

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Kobe Hanover (1:54.20) in NW4PMCD on April 28 at $2.70. Two runs back won by 2.25 m (Sr1) at this track (1:55.30) beating Fear Romeo in 30000CLNW7 on April 14 at $9.50. Capable of a strong showing.
