Northfield Park Race 9 - Race 9
LITTLE DIRT COWBOY (3) saluted two runs back then registered a commanding victory last time out, scoring by 11 metres over 1609m at Scioto Downs. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. I'M FROMTHECOUNTRY (2) drew wide once again last start but produced a strong effort, beaten 0.8 metres into third at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this much better draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is in the right race to grab a well-deserved win. BOQ (1) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at Scioto Downs last time out. BELIEVE IN DREAMS (5) cannot be ruled out after breaking his maiden status nine days ago over 1609m at Scioto Downs.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Scioto Downs beaten 24 m by Little Dirt Cowboy (1:57.30) in BSS 2C on July 23 at $13.40. The run previous 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 30 m by Roll'n In Moni (1:57.10) in OHSS 2C on July 11 at $55.50. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Little Dirt Cowboy at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a BSS 2C on July 14 at $5.80. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Senor Julio at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a BSS 2C on July 23 at $19.30. Rates highly. Big chance.

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 11 m win (Fr5) at Scioto Downs (1:57.30) beating Jackson in BSS 2C on July 23 at $4.20. Two runs back won by 6 m (Fr9) at Scioto Downs (1:59.20) beating I'm Fromthecountry in BSS 2C on July 14 at $17.10. Big run expected.

Last start 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at Cortland, beaten 3 m by Bald Bob (2:09.20) in OHFS 2C on July 14. Two runs back 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Mind On My Moni (1:58.40) in 2YO NW1PM on July 8 at $97.70. Better off investing elsewhere.

Well beaten last start by Little Dirt Cowboy, who he meets again; when 40 metres sixth at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a BSS 2C race on July 23. Can't have on that basis.
