Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
FIERY GINGER (1) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 24 metres into seventh at Scioto Downs over 1609m. From this far better draw can take care of this field. DS AVA (3) finished ninth last start over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 60 metres, after a good second at Scioto Downs the run prior. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has the class to take this out. GILLETTE (7) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 11 metres at this track over 1609m. FRAN THE FLAME (2) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Scioto Downs three-and-a-half weeks ago.
