Northfield Park Race 5 - Race 5
FIRE IN THE RAIN (5) put the writing on the wall two runs ago then improved further at his latest appearance when he scored by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. ROCKIN PIPPA (1) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can make amends. APPLE TOWN (3) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Crush It at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMCD on October 14 at $14.20. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Woggy at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMCD on November 2 at $35.20. Can build on that fine effort last start.
