Northfield Park Race 12 - Race 12
GRAPE CRUSH (3) finished third two starts back at this track then made short work of his rivals last start to win by 21 metres over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. ABBEY D (8) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 9 metres at this track over 1609m. DISGRUNTLED CARL (7) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track well beaten by Abbey D (1:55.00) in OPEN HCP on November 2 at $28.30. Showed ability the race before when he won by 5 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:56.00) beating Macmorris Hanover in GRAD on October 17 at $2.40. Can do a lot better.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following October 18 run. Last start won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:55.40) beating Activation in NW5000L4 on October 27 at $2.40. This race will be harder than that win. Predicted to struggle.
