Northfield Park Race 6 - Race 6
ESCAPETOTHEBEACH (3) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 13 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this better draw. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. ROSE RUN ZEKE (8) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. THE BOOK OF LIFE (2) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good third over 1609m at this track two runs back.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 13 m by Whywoodidothat (1:56.10) in 8000CL on October 2 at $49.70. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 8 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.20) beating Brayden's Bandit in NW1500L4 on September 25 at $1.40. Looks the testing material.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 10 m by Lovin On The Beach (1:56.30) in NW1500L4 on October 2 at $14.80. Before that 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 40 m by The Onyx Dragon (1:54.40) in NW1500L4 on September 23 at $10.10. Happy enough to dismiss.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Bb Cruiser at this track over 1609m in a 6000CL on September 25 at $6.10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Smooth Lou at this track over 1609m in a 6000CL on October 2 at $6.60. Can build on that fine effort last start.

Showed a glimmer of form last time 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 21 m by Mister Rebbily A (1:56.40) in NW1500L4 on October 2 at $47. But The start before was well beaten into eighth behind Escapetothebeach at this track over 1609m in a NW1500L4 on September 25 at $31. Better off looking to others.
