Northfield Park Race 4 - Race 4
WAY TOO EASY (5) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 35 metres into seventh at Scioto Downs over 1609m. From this far better draw can take this out. I'M FROMTHECOUNTRY (2) was without a win before he improved last start to score by 4 metres over 1609m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. EAST KING STREET (7) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at Scioto Downs three weeks ago. DOLLAR GUARD (8) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs.

Has struggled of late. Last start 8th (Sr1) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 35 m by Lou Armstrong (1:55.00) in OSF 2C on July 30 at $85.70. At the previous start 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Royal Moni (1:56.20) in OHSS 2C on July 20 at $14.90. Good enough to turn things around.
