Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
WHITE CLAW (2) finished fifth last start, beaten 19 metres at this track over 1609m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SMOOTH LOU (7) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at Batavia Downs. ESCAPETOTHEBEACH (5) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track on September 9.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 m by Deciding Factor (1:54.20) in NW2500L4 on September 9 at $12.40. At the previous start 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Rose Run Xiled (1:53.40) in NW2500L4 on September 2 at $18.40. Suitably placed and can make amends.
