Northfield Park Race 15 - Race 15
ALWAYSCUTTINSCHOOL (2) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 30 metres, after a good third at this track the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. PURPLE POET (8) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway. Can atone. BLUEBIRD RECON (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Takemetothelmit (1:58.10) in NW1500L4 on May 13 at $5.20. Before that 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 10 m by Control Sicily (1:55.20) in NW1500L4 on May 5 at $45.20. This looks too tough.
