Northfield Park Race 2 - Race 2
A SHORE THING MIKI (3) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Scioto Downs, finishing second and just 0.8 metres from the winner. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. LYONS CARTIER (8) had a favourable gate and was too good at Scioto Downs two runs ago. Drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 35 metres into seventh at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. SAINT SERRA (2) finished fourth on debut over 1609m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. This looks a suitable race and a top-three finish looks on the cards. MIDNIGHT HAZE (6) must be respected after scoring last start by 0.8 metres at Scioto Downs over 1609m.
