Northfield Park Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609M
SHRIMP AND GRITS (1) comes here just three days after finishing third beaten 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. His last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. ISLANDSPECIALMAJOR (2) finished sixth last start, beaten 8 metres at this track over 1609m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. PRINCE JOHN (7) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track three days ago. SIMPLE KINDA MAN (3) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway on February 23.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Backing up quickly after 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 8 m by Over Hill N Delle (1:58.40) in NW1500L4 on February 22 at $8.20. The run before pulled up at this track on February 17 over 1609m. Anticipating a much better performance this time.

Resumes today. His previous first-up run was successful when he won by 1.5 m (Fr7) at Oak Grove Racing (1:56.30) beating Frozen Shark in NW1/2CDCLM on April 1 2024 at $13.52. Might be better for this run.

Before that 7th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 m by Locamotion Fred (1:57.20) in NW1500L4 on February 11 at $23.70. Recent form suggests he needs to lift.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Major Offense at this track over 1609m in a NW1500L4 on February 17 at $4.30. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Over Hill N Delle at this track over 1609m in a NW1500L4 on February 22 at $25.40. Strong winning prospects.
