Northfield Park Race 2 - Race 2
SMART ALECK (3) Led from start to finish when winning by a margin of 3.5m last start at this venue. On a winning streak the last 2 starts. Definite claims. HEAR THE THUNDER (5) First race appearance 2yo by Catch The Fire for trainer Robert Brooks. Watch the market. UNERRING (9) Fresh from a break of 35 weeks. Ran 5th last start around here. Expected to rebound. One of the major players. FIRE IN THE RAIN (1) Finished 6th last run at this venue but has drawn to do little work. Has early speed and positions nicely. One to watch and an each way chance.

Finished 6th last run around here but gets a favourable alley. Will be positive in the run early. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Jumped at $28.00 and came in 7th last run at the track but having second career run. Likely to get back in the field. Big improvement required to threaten these.

Was $16.00 and right up there last start at the track. Has not placed in 6 attempts this preparation. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

First run back from a 35 week break. Was $4.00 and came in 5th last start at this track. Expected to rebound. Definitely worth considering.
