Northfield Park Race 11 - Race 11
LUNAR (2) scored last time out by 0.9 metres in a solid performance at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he can make it two on the trot. LAKE CHARLES (8) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 30 metres into eighth at this track over 1609m. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. CUPID SHUFFLE (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track nine days ago. ULTIMATE CATCH (1) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.
