Northfield Park Race 9 - Race 9
ROYAL PRECEDENT (9) ran fifth last start at Scioto Downs over 1609m, beaten 21 metres. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BJORNSSON (4) did a good job to finish third two starts ago then recorded a commanding win last start, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another win is on the cards. MET YOUR REQUEST (3) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. JETT RINK (2) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 21 m by Legacy Affair (1:52.00) in NW11501L4 on June 19 at $3.10. The run before 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 15 m by Sugar Instead (1:52.40) in NW11501L4 on June 12 at $13.20. Can turn things around in this suitable contest.
