Northfield Park Race 20 - Race 20
SMOKIN GUNS (2) ran fourth last start at Scioto Downs over 1609m, beaten 18 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. DYNAMIC COUNT (9) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 115 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Finds a suitable assignment and can bounce back into winning form. LEIGH WYNN (8) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at Scioto Downs nine days ago. SERG GARCIA (7) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs.

Two-year-old colt by Uncle Peter out of Brigitte Bi on debut. Finished fifth at Scioto Downs in a trial on July 6 over 1609m. A bit of a push for him in early discussions is worth noting.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Punchin Preacher at The Meadows over 1609m in a CGNW1EXTPM on July 16 at $51.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Believe In Dreams at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a BSS 2C on July 23 at $26. Definite winning chance.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track well beaten by Royal Moni (1:56.20) in OHSS 2C on July 20 at $87.70. The start before 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 20 m by Sigurd (1:57.30) in OHSS 2C on July 11 at $36.60. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.
