Northfield Park Race 2 - Race 2
NORTH RIM (7) Close to claiming the win last time at Scioto Downs and solid career start. Has shown early pace in races to date. Been in the money each start this campaign. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. JETT JAMES (4) Just missed last time at Scioto Downs and promising career start. Has early speed and positions nicely. Driver Dan Noble and trainer Adam Short deserve respect as a team. Goes close. ROUTE FIFTY (1) Good win by 3.75m last start at Scioto Downs and having second career run. Gains the services of driver Aaron Merriman and gets the perfect draw. Open to improvement and has a show in this field. ATLANTIC IVEY (2) Just shy of the win last start at Scioto Downs and putting a tidy record together so far. Expecting to settle positively. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Will be around the mark at odds.

Showed promise when winning by 3.75m last start at Scioto Downs and was on debut last time. Aaron Merriman is a plus and has drawn the rails. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Edged past some when finishing 5th last start at Scioto Downs and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should jump out and bowl along. Definite claims for punters.

Right in contention last time at Scioto Downs and showing consistent performance in races. Should come to hand quickly. Dan Noble and Adam Short link well together. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

At $12.00 came in 9th last start at this track but fitter for debut run. Not likely to pull off the victory.

Was agonizingly close last run at Scioto Downs. Robert W Cleary stable are on fire recently. Gets back and needs luck. Struggle to recommend.
