Northfield Park Race 9 - Race 9
NORTH RIM (3) finished 11 metres from the winner in third at Scioto Downs over 1609m last start at his first career run. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat again. OCEAN PARTY (2) ran fourth last start at Scioto Downs over 1609m, beaten 12 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. YANKEES DELIGHT (1) is a two-year-old colt from the Bret Schwartz stable on debut. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Sure to prove very hard to beat. THE MIGHTY BRIX (7) is a two-year-old gelding from the Jeff Smith yard on debut. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Will be right there at the business end.

Two-year-old colt lining up for the second time. At debut 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 12 m by Don'ttruckwithme (1:52.20) in NEXTGEN 2C-R2 on July 4 at $9.30. Better for that run and is a winning hope this time.
