Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
GOODNIGHT DANCE (9) was expected to do a lot more last time out when sixth, beaten 22 metres, over 1609m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go her way at some stage. Her recent effort is not a true indication. Good enough to take out a race like this. ILL BE HOME FIRST (5) scored a dominant win off the inside draw at this course and distance last time out. Meets a similar line up so she is capable of getting the job done again. DANCIN SUZY (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. NOT THAT HILLARY (1) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Three-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 6 m (Fr1) at this track (1:55.00) beating Gochujang in FMNW2PMCD on August 23 at $3. Going very well and deserves top billing.

Two runs back 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 16 m by Jamie Amanda (1:54.40) in BSS 2F CHP on October 4 at $7. Will take a lot from that run and can figure in the finish.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Ella Jo at this track over 1609m in a FMNW4PMCD on August 15 at $2.10. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 1.5 m by Ella Jo (1:52.30) in FMNW4PMCD on August 8 at $50.20. One of the key runners.
