Northfield Park Race 13 - Race 13
BIRTHDAY (2) scored at his most recent outing by 2.25 metres in a nice return to form at The Meadows over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Stepping up a level this time but he is capable of another big performance. LAKE CHARLES (7) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his success last time out, scoring by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw. That latest effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. AMERICAN FLING (4) finished second last start over 1609m at The Meadows. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. COOP A LOOP (3) must be respected after scoring last start by 9 metres at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Lake Charles (1:52.20) in OPEN II on May 17 at $95.30. Showed ability the run before when he won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.40) beating Cyclone Banner in NW5000L4 on May 10 at $1.40. Solid top-three claims.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:52.20) beating Cocosdream in NW5000L4 on May 10 at $1.90. Last start just missed, solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 2.25 m by Birthday (1:50.40) in NW6500L4 on May 16 at $5. Hard to fault on current form.
