Northfield Park Race 2 - Race 2
SWEET ILLOUSION (4) registered another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track, adding to an impressive run of top-three results. Good enough to put herself back in the winners' stall. FEARLESS BETTOR (5) showed plenty of fight to salute last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.9 metres. Won't find this any harder and she can salute once again. PRINCESS KATIE A (6) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. QUEEN OF FEAR (2) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m.

Scored at her last two starts. Last start won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:52.40) beating Fun To Love in FMOPEN2HCP on September 19 at $2.40. Hard to leave out on current form. Worth including.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 0.6 m by Hungry Lizzo (1:52.30) in FMOPEN HCP on September 12 at $18.30. Two runs back won by 8 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:52.30) beating Fearless Bettor in FMOPENHCP on September 5 at $1.50. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by a 0.9 m (Fr5) at this track (1:52.30) beating Princess Katie in FMOPEN HCP on September 19 at $3.30. No surprise if she made it two in a row.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Sweet Illousion at this track over 1609m in a FMOPENHCP on September 5 at $7. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Fearless Bettor at this track over 1609m in a FMOPEN HCP on September 19 at $2.60. Big run expected.
