Northfield Park Race 11 - Race 11
RACE ME CELTIC (2) ran sixth last start at Scioto Downs over 1609m, beaten 11 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the ability to take this out. DOWNBYTHEWATER (3) was out of the money two runs back at Scioto Downs then improved sharply last start to score by 4 metres over 1609m at the same circuit. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is good enough to take this out. TIMEISONMYSIDE (5) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at The Meadows last time out. BACK IN MY DAY (4) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Well beaten last start by Beach Bum Harley, a rival who he faces again; when 15 metres eighth at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP race on September 20. Can't have on that basis.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Lake Charles at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on September 6 at $40.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Beach Bum Harley at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on September 20 at $6.10. Capable of testing this line-up.
