Northfield Park Race 2 - Race 2
LAKE CHARLES (5) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 60 metres into eighth at this track over 1609m. Finds a tougher race but a better run is on the cards. MASTER YOSSI N (1) turned in a much better run last start, finishing third over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. His recent form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. POCKET THE CASH N (3) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. LITENINGONTHEBEACH (7) must be respected after scoring last start by 0.6 metres at this track over 1609m.
