Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8

THE REAL WAY (9) was responsible for a better performance last time out when second over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 8 metres. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. I AINT NO MACK (2) finished sixth at Buffalo Raceway two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1609m at Buffalo Raceway, beaten 9 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the class to take this out. INTERSTATEDAYDREAM (7) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m. COOP A LOOP (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. Something for the Multiples: THORNBUSH HANOVER (3)

First up. At the last run he unplaced (Fr3) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway well beaten by Crunch Time (1:52.30) in SA40000CL on January 26 2025 at $26.80. Capable of taking this out while fresh.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Caption This (1:54.40) in NW3500L4 on May 12 at $3. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fourth behind Pocket The Cash at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L4 on May 5 at $73.10. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.

Solid performance when a close second behind Pocket The Cash at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L4 on May 5 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Pocket The Cash at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on May 10 at $8.50. Hard to roll on current form.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m second behind Moneyman Mikki at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m NW4501L4 last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third again at Miami Valley Raceway in NW10PM-CL on April 13. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Surreal Ideal at The Meadows over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on April 24 at $54.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Liteningonthebeach at The Meadows over 1609m in a NW7000L4 on May 8 at $5.20. This race appears well within his grasp.
