Northfield Park Race 9 - Race 9
KB MONEYBALL (3) was without a win before displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 4 metres over 1609m at Scioto Downs two weeks ago. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to cope. MONTE BE GOOD (8) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw. It doesn't get any easier but he is good enough to take this out. MENTAL UP (4) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Scioto Downs last time out. SEASIDE SAINT (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Scioto Downs over 1609m.

Two-year-old gelding by Catch The Fire out of Sugarcoated on debut. A bit of a push for him in early discussions is worth noting.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following July 24 run. Last start won by 1.5 m (Fr2) at this track (1:58.00) beating Monte Be Good in OHFS 2YOC on August 1 at $14.10. This race will be harder than that win. Can't make much of a case.
