Northfield Park Race 1 - Race 1
CATCH THE EXPRESS (3) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 105 metres into ninth at this track over 1609m. Big chance from this favourable draw if anywhere near his best. LARRY LEGEND (6) made it two wins from his last three starts when he scored by 9 metres on August 9 over 1609m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. DANCINACROSSTHEUSA (1) comes right into contention after scoring last start by a neck at this track over 1609m. SPOOKY LOU (8) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Last start was well beaten into ninth behind Robinthecradle at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMCD on July 26 at $15.80. Performed better the start before where he posted a big 7 m win (Fr6) at this track (1:52.40) beating Swelce in NW2PMCD on July 13 at $3.20. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
