Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
TEMPTING FLAMES (5) has been excellent of late and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs, getting home by 3 metres. Won't find this any harder and she can grab another win. MONI N THE SAFE (4) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 25 metres. Best recent result was a win at this track three starts ago over 1609m. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. PA LEXI (2) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1609m at Scioto Downs eight days ago. DANCIN MIKI (6) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at Scioto Downs on July 24.

Two-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Scioto Downs both over 1609m. Last start won by 3 m as favourite (Sr1) at Scioto Downs (1:52.00) beating Real Classy in OSF 2F on July 31 at $1.10. Recent form hard to fault.
