Northfield Park Race 3 - Race 3
BACK IN MY DAY (1) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at this track the run before. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. JOHNNY UP (2) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 17 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. From this far better draw can return to something like his best. TEN TOTHE DOZEN A (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. OUR BENSON N (3) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Cupid Shuffle at this track over 1609m in a OPEN II on August 9 at $18.20. Performed better the start before where he won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:53.20) beating Commander Bob in NW6500L4 on August 3 at $1.80. Capable of a strong showing.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Pocono Downs both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.9 m (Fr4) at this track (1:56.00) beating Back In My Day in NW5000L4 on August 9 at $3.40. Going very well and deserves top billing.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Clever Cody (1:52.00) in NW6500L4 on August 9 at $25.70. Showed ability the run before when he won by 5 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:55.00) beating Be A Lucky Star in NW3500L4 on July 29 at $2. Must be included.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 50 m by Cupid Shuffle (1:52.10) in NW6500L4 on July 26 at $7.90. Before that 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Cocosdream (1:52.00) in OPENII HCP on July 5 at $9.50. Hard to find on recent performances.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Lou Grant at The Meadows over 1609m in a NW4400L4 on August 1 at $8.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Mantador at The Meadows over 1609m in a NW4901L4 on August 7 at $2. Should be right in the finish.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Clever Cody (1:52.00) in NW6500L4 on August 9 at $67.40. Before that 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 4 m by Johnny Up (1:53.20) in NW6500L4 on August 3 at $28.30. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten.
