Northfield Park Race 7 - Race 7
FIRE THE PREZ (7) ran fifth last start at Scioto Downs over 1609m, beaten 30 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Has ability and should be right in the finish. LATHER UP ATHENS (2) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. MATTIE SHARK (1) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Thunder Jam at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMLC on April 26 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Ninetynineproblems at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMLC on May 3 at $4.10. Chief contender.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following April 29 run. Last start posted a big 4.5 m win (Fr6) at this track (1:59.40) beating Bulldozer in NW1PMCD on May 13 at $12.40. This race will be harder than that win. Wait until he shows something.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 40 m by Catch The Express (1:55.10) in NW2PMCD on May 19 at $57.40. Before that 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Rodeo Jet (1:54.40) in NW2PMCD on May 5 at $67. This appears outside his grasp.
