Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
OUR BENSON N (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 19 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Finds a nice race and from this nice draw can make amends. GALLANT STAR (4) made the most of the inside draw to score a commanding win at this course and distance last start. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. CYCLONE BANNER N (3) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. BOBS REDEMPTION (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 21 metres at this track over 1609m.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Better Is Nice at this track over 1609m in a NW8000L4 on May 3 at $58.30.

Very hard to beat from the inside draw.
