Northfield Park Race 12 - Race 12
MELILLO (2) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last 24 starts including a second most recently at The Meadows over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the ability to take this out. ACES AND CINCHES (9) had a win at Hoosier Park two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Hoosier Park, beaten 0.8 metres. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he good enough to play a major role. BORDERLINE MOBBY (6) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Grand River Raceway. MYBOYPANK (5) must be included after winning his past three starts, the latest at Scioto Downs two weeks ago.

Easy win three starts back at Scioto Downs over 1609m HGNW6PMRLT on July 25. Last time out 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at The Red Mile beaten 6 m by Funky Buddha (1:47.20) in KYSS on August 9 at $78.42. Doesn't need to improve much to feature in the finish.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Al Papi at The Meadows over 1609m in an ADIOS ELIM on July 18 at $2.10. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Al Papi at The Meadows over 1609m in an ADIOS-G1 on July 25 at $9.70. This race appears well within his grasp.
