Northfield Park Race 2 - Race 2
PASSING GEAR (4) finished sixth last start, beaten 30 metres at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. KINTSUGI (2) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 45 metres into eighth at Scioto Downs over 1609m. This should be an easier assignment so from a favourable draw he is sure to prove tough to beat. ROSE RUN CHAMP (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at The Meadows. NONSTOPSEASIDE (1) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish second over 1609m at this track.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Shaw Time at The Meadows over 1609m in a NW2EXTPM on August 6 at $4.20. Raced better the start before that where he posted a big 4.5 m win (Fr1) at Scioto Downs (1:55.10) beating Kintsugi in BSS 2C on July 24 at $9.20. Has the ability to take this out.
