Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
KOBE HANOVER (3) finished third two starts ago then registered a commanding victory last time out, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can go right on with the job. PUMPKIN SKIN (4) is one of the main contenders after winning his past two starts, the latest at this track a week ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. HIGHEST HONORS (2) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on August 17. Something for the Multiples: HAYHAYIT'SFRINEIGH (5)

Been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Hardt Of A King (1:51.20) in NW4PMCD on August 17 at $4. Needs something easier.

Well beaten last start by Kobe Hanover, a rival who he faces again; when 30 metres eighth at this track over 1609m in a 30000CLNW7 race on August 24. Can't see him featuring.
