Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
SWELCE (8) again drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 19 metres into seventh at Dayton Raceway over 1609m. Has to contend with a very wide draw once again. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. CHUST LUKE (1) scored at this track three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when third over 1609m at Dayton Raceway, beaten 6 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can find winning ways. ALWAYSINAFRENZY G (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at this track over 1609m. SMART ALECK (5) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can make amends.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Catching Up at this track over 1609m in a 22500CLNW4 on September 27 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Legends Rule at Dayton Raceway over 1609m in a NW4PM-CL on October 12 at $34.50. This race appears well within his grasp.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Matanzas Creek (1:55.10) in NW4PMCD on October 11 at $5.40. Showed ability the run before when he won by a 0.9 m (Fr1) at this track (1:54.20) beating Spooky Lou in NW4PMCD on September 27 at $39.10. Wasn't at his best last time - can improve.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Circus (1:56.10) in 15000CLNW2 on October 14 at $1.90. Before that 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Drill Baby Drill (1:55.20) in 15000CLNW2 on October 7 at $13.90. A top-three finish would surprise.
