Northfield Park Race 5 - Race 5
MY NEXT CHAPTER (9) finished eighth last start, beaten 15 metres at Scioto Downs over 1609m. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. This is a nice drop in class so he is set to play a significant role. SAID N DONE AS (4) produced a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on October 18. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. FOUR SIXES (6) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back. SHAMROCK (3) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish second over 1609m at this track.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten a neck by Said N Done As (1:57.00) in NW3500L4 on October 18 at $33.90. Before that beaten 30 metres, eighth at The Meadows over 1609m NW4500L4 on October 8. Likely to struggle.

Last start 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at Tioga Downs, beaten 50 m by Number Seven (1:56.10) in NY EXCEL on September 19 at $29.33. Before that, unplaced (Fr4) over 1609m at Saratoga, well beaten by Chapter Of Life (1:58.00) in NY EXCEL on August 11 at $5.13. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Respect.

Having her second run back from a spell. Game effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at Dayton Raceway beaten 6 m by Mockingbird As (1:54.40) in BSS 3F FN on October 3 at $21.50. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 45 m by Greentea (1:56.00) in NW6500L4 on October 11 at $17.20. Showed ability the run before when he won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:55.40) beating Sweet Rose in NW5000L4 on October 4 at $1.90. Looks the testing material.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 15 m by Reggianito (1:54.00) in NW13001L4 on October 16 at $53.30. The run previous 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at Dayton Raceway beaten 12 m by Hilltop Sonar (1:54.00) in NW12501L4 on September 29 at $5.60. Can turn things around in this suitable contest.
