Northfield Park Race 16 - Race 16

FOREVER A LION AS (2) was out of the money two back at this track. Turned in a better run last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. BAMBOO (3) is one of the main contenders after winning his past two starts, the latest at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. MY PAL SPARKY (5) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Something for the Multiples: FRED'S DREAM GIRL (6)

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 22 m by The Prince (1:56.00) in NW6500L4 on August 2 at $21.70. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:59.40) beating Sister Sadie in NW4PMCD on July 22 at $1.90. Will give a good account.
