Northfield Park Race 13 - Race 13
LAKE CHARLES (8) has been hard to fault of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 8 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. BACK IN MY DAY (1) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 18 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Fares a lot better at the draw this time and is good enough to take out a race like this. CUPID SHUFFLE (3) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. BASILISK BOB A (5) is open to further improvement at his third run back from a break after getting home last time out over 1609m at this track.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 18 m by Lake Charles (1:50.20) in OPEN HCP on September 6 at $40.30. Showed ability the run before when he won by 5 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:53.20) beating Unique Catch in NW5000L4 on August 31 at $2.40. In the mix from the inside draw.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 12 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.00) beating Tick's A Yankin in NW5000L4 on September 13 at $1.20. Two runs back 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Hungry Lizzo (1:52.00) in NW5000L4 on September 6 at $1.20. Would rather see in something easier.

Nine-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 8 m (Sr1) at this track (1:50.20) beating Beach Bum Harley in OPEN HCP on September 6 at $2.90. Going very well and deserves top billing.
