Northfield Park Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609M
NO FREE LUNCH (2) produced another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway, adding to an impressive run of top-three results. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. CLUB SCENE (4) again drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 5 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Has the ability to take care of this field. JOHNNY SACK (8) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. BETTERDEALMEIN (5) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix. Something for the Multiples: DON'TCALLMEFRANCIS (7)

12-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Lovin On The Beach (1:54.20) in NW2500L4 on February 15 at $11.10. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Sriracha Heat at this track over 1609m in a NW2500L4 on February 9 at $20.90. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.
