Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M
BOUNDING DELIGHT (1) ran eighth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 15 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the talent to take care of this field. THREE GRAND (3) was successful at his most recent outing by 1.5 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can make it consecutive wins. PEPPER JACK FLASH (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track six days ago. WOWHESAROCKSTAR N (5) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Whywoodidothat (1:56.40) in NW4PMCD on February 24 at $4.20. The start before 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by My Legend (1:56.40) in NW4PMCD on February 17 at $1.90. Watch for a far better effort this time.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Pocket Of Terror at this track over 1609m in a 8000CL on March 4 at $12.40. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 1.5 m by Mayor Mittcheese (1:56.30) in 6000CL on February 24 at $2.70. Capable of testing this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Lettuce Nipya at this track over 1609m in a NW2500L4 on February 22 at $12.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Mayor Mittcheese at this track over 1609m in a 6000CL on March 3 at $21.10. This race appears well within his grasp.
