Northfield Park Race 5 - Race 5
DEADLY CATCH (9) turned in a much better run last time out when he scored by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. His recent effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. SERIOUS COLT (5) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. DANCIN AFTER DARK (4) must be considered after he finished third when resuming over 1609m at The Red Mile two weeks ago.

Two-year-old filly by Catch The Fire out of Ladylikeitis on debut. Finished sixth in a trial on July 11 at Hoosier Park over 1609m. Might be better for this outing

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Uff Da at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMCD on July 22 at $60.80. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Big Energy at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMCD on July 29 at $14.10. Nice effort last time. Leading contender.
