Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M
POCKET THE CASH N (1) finished third last start, beaten 6 metres at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat. RISENSHINE SEASIDE (2) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 18 metres into seventh at The Meadows over 1609m. From this far better draw can take this out. BELECHICK (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. GROOVY JOE (3) must be included after winning his past two starts, the latest at this track a week ago.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Trosa (1:54.00) in NW8000L4 on March 1 at $23.60. Definite winning chance.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 30 m win as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:53.30) beating Dont Judge A Book in NW1500L4 on March 1 at $1.70. Hard to leave out on current form. Each-way chance.
