Northfield Park Race 11 - Race 11
LETTUCE NIPYA A (3) was yet again about the mark last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is good enough to take this out. SWEET ALEX (2) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Northville Downs, beaten 7 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Has the class to take this out. MYULTIMATE SNOWY A (4) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. DECIDING FACTOR (8) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4 metres at this track over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Ithaca Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW2500L4 on September 20 at $1.70. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Sriracha Heat at this track over 1609m in a NW2500L4 on October 6 at $3.30. Strong winning prospects.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following September 20 run. Last start posted a big 4.5 m win (Fr7) at this track (1:56.30) beating Fly Charley Fly in NW1500L4 on October 6 at $10.10. This race will be harder than that win. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
