Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
POCKET THE CASH N (9) has drawn wide in recent runs. Didn't raise backers hopes last time out when sixth over 1609m at this track. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. PRINCIPLE INTEREST (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 25 metres at The Meadows over 1609m. Expected to run well. CRUISING ALONG (4) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished second over 1609m at this track last time out. U GOING (3) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on August 31.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Joy In Mudville at The Meadows over 1609m in a NW3400L4 on August 22 at $8.50. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 8 m by D A Love Boat (1:50.30) in NW3000L4 on August 15 at $2.40. Big chance with the aid of the ace draw.
