Northfield Park Race 10 - Race 10
WHATCHAGONNADO (1) was struggling to make his mark before the latest appearance when he scored by 4 metres over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Has the benefit of a good draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. SPIRITSHAPPYENDING (9) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. SPEED SNIP (5) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. ITWASAVERYGOODYEAR (2) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score over 1609m at this track.

Last start posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Scioto Downs (1:51.00) beating Ss Druidstone in HGNW5001L4 on August 22 at $1.90. Should get all the favours from this draw. Major player.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 60 m by Rider Hanover (1:50.20) in HGNW10CDCL on August 15 at $6.80. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 23 m win as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:52.20) beating Uncle Bobby in NW4PMCD on August 10 at $1.20. Can do a lot better.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Legendary Doowrah at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on August 24 at $71.60. Performed better the start before where he won by a neck (Fr4) at this track (1:52.40) beating Dragon City in NW5000L4 on August 16 at $2.80. Rates highly. Big chance.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Nautical Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on August 16 at $36.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Quick Trick at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L4 on August 24 at $3.10. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
