Northfield Park Race 9 - Race 9
STOKE THE FIRE (2) First up and narrowly denied a win first up last preparation at Scioto Downs. Likely to be well placed early. Suited at this distance in the past. Strong hope. AIN'T NO FIRE (5) First up from a 33 week break. Close to a win last time at Scioto Downs and will be well suited at the trip. Good career start. Should go close. FIRE THE PREZ (4) First up after a break of 37 weeks. Missed by a narrow margin last time around here and promising career start. Has plenty of early speed. Respect against this field. CARMEN'SOHSOFAMOUS (1) Resuming after a 26 week break. Stormed home to win last start at Dayton Raceway and can save some energy from the draw. Solid career start. Can make a claim.

Racing fresh after a 26 week break. Finished hard to win last start at Dayton Raceway and gets a favourable alley. Showing consistent performance in races. Capable of winning this.

First up and close to claiming the win first up last preparation at Scioto Downs. Expecting to settle positively. Hard to fault at the trip. Stamps its reason for consideration.

Produced an eye catching run when 3rd beaten by 9.5m last start at the track. In a purple patch of form this preparation. Marginal prospect.

Was $13.00 and came in 9th last run at the track. Always seems to find the line well. Driver Aaron Merriman rates highly aboard. Not likely to pull off the victory.
