Northfield Park Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M
THE REAL WAY (1) finished third at his most recent outing, beaten 3 metres, in a far better performance at The Meadows over 1609m when second-up from a break. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope in a similar assignment. JUST A START (3) finished fifth last start, beaten 21 metres at Hoosier Park over 1609m. Expected to run well. UNFILTERED (4) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. SWEET ALEX (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Buckeyebollinger at The Meadows over 1609m in a NW6800L4 on February 13 at $54.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Spiritofanoutlaw at The Meadows over 1609m in a NW4200L4 on February 20 at $2.30. Definite winning chance.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Beach Forecast (1:56.40) in NW2500L4 on February 22 at $1.60. Before that 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Not Today (1:54.00) in NW5000L4 on February 15 at $66. May find this too tough.
