Northfield Park Race 9 - Race 9

MATANZAS CREEK (3) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last five starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Primary contender in a similar assignment. BILLION (2) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. SMART ALECK (1) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind He's Gone Hanover at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a HGNW4CDCL on September 16 at $2.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Uncle Bobby at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMCD on October 4 at $4.10. Definite winning chance.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 15 m by Glowing Lou (1:54.00) in CDCLMW1NW4 on October 2 at $9.50. Before that 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Noble Dale (1:53.30) in NW2500L4 on August 24 at $7.10. This appears outside his grasp.
