Northfield Park Race 4 - Race 4
SWELCE (9) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 30 metres into ninth at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CATCH THE EXPRESS (6) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. NICO (3) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at this track. Something for the Multiples: CHASING ROMEO (2)

Resuming after a spell of six-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fifth behind Tellme U R Mydate at Dayton Raceway over 1609m in a NW2PM-CL on December 30 at $10.50. Should be right in the finish.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Hayhayit'sfrineigh at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLNW2 on June 24 at $40.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Miss Emma Jemma at this track over 1609m in a 15000CLNW2 on July 1 at $3. Progressing well. Top prospects.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Hayhayit'sfrineigh (1:55.40) in NW2PMCD on July 5 at $1.10. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 12 m win as favourite (Sr1) at this track (1:56.00) beating Bulldozer in NW2PMCD on June 28 at $1.10. Capable of taking this out.

Three-year-old gelding who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start 9th (Fr9) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 30 m by Tsunami Seas (1:51.40) in BSSÂ 3C on June 27 at $44. Can come from the second line and grab a well-deserved win.
