Northfield Park Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M
SPAAAANZANO (1) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 15 metres into fifth at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m. This doesn't look as hard so from a favourable draw he is sure to prove tough to beat. DREBIN (5) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Meets a comparable field and he can get back to the winner's list. DISGRUNTLED CARL (4) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. ROSE RUN ZOOM (6) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Sinatra De Vie at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m in a NW9001L4 on February 11 at $8.80. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway, beaten 16 m by Mars Hill (1:53.20) in NW9001L4 on February 4 at $6.80. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Last start 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Oberto (1:56.10) in NW10000L4 on February 9 at $22.10. Two runs back won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:59.10) beating Winter Soldier in NW6500L4 on February 1 at $2.40. Happy to risk.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following February 1 run. Last start won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at this track (1:56.00) beating Legacy Affair in OPENII HCP on February 15 at $17.60. This race will be harder than that win. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 19 m by Drebin (1:55.10) in OPEN HCP on February 9 at $5.90. Showed ability the run before when he won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:59.00) beating Rose Run Zoom in OPEN HCP on February 1 at $1.90. A better showing expected.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 m by Yanks Dugout (1:55.20) in OPEN HCP on February 15 at $2. Two runs back posted a big 30 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:55.30) beating Anastasia Rudy in NW5000L4 on February 9 at $1.05. Racing very well. Strong claims.
