Northfield Park Race 11 - Race 11
CRUISING ALONG (2) was successful last time out by 4.5 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance in a similar race. JK'S CHAMP (6) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SAULSBROOK TSUNAMI (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by Boozer (1:53.40) in NW2500L4 on September 27 at $92.10. Before that beaten 24 metres, seventh at this track over 1609m NW2500L4 on September 23. Prepared to risk.

Well beaten last start by Cruising Along, who he meets again; when 20 metres fifth at this track over 1609m in a NW2500L4 race on October 2. Can't have on that basis.
