Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
SMOOTH BAHT A (1) finished sixth last start, beaten 40 metres at this track over 1609m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. I'M THE PRINCE (5) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. MR PNUT (9) is worth some thought despite his last-start eighth over 1609m at this track on July 29.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 40 m by Deetzy (1:52.40) in NW2500L4 on August 3 at $3.70. The run before 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Pocket The Cash (1:53.20) in NW5000L4 on July 26 at $72. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.
