Northfield Park Race 1 - Race 1
RACE ME CELTIC (4) was expected to do a lot more last time out when fifth, beaten 13 metres, over 1609m at this track. Finds a nice race and can improve sharply. LOU GRANT (6) ran second last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 8 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SANDBETWEENMYTOES (1) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at The Meadows four weeks ago. SPIRITSHAPPYENDING (2) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Tip Top Cat at The Meadows over 1609m in a NW9600L4 on September 5 at $5. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 1.5 m by Art Of Revenge (1:49.40) in NW8500L5 on August 29 at $3.70. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 m by Liteningonthebeach (1:51.20) in OPEN on September 27 at $2.50.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Basilisk Bob at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on September 13 at $52.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind I Aint No Mack at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on September 27 at $5.70. Can build on that fine effort last start.

Before that 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 18 m by Speed Snip (1:52.10) in NW6500L4 on September 6 at $9.20. Can't recommend.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following September 18 run. Last start won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:54.20) beating Pizzagaina in NW2500L4 on September 27 at $2. This race will be harder than that win. Prepared to just watch.
