Northfield Park Race 12 - Race 12
MITEY LIL (2) Competed in a tight contest last run at this venue. Christopher Lems and Daren Harvey command respect as a pairing. Will be positive in the run early. Big claims. WISHINGHALLOFCHINA (4) Gave them all something to chase when winning by 3.75m last run around here and putting a tidy record together so far. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. SEVEN LICK HOLIDAY (1) Weakened to finish 6th last time here. Can show a better performance this time and drawn well. Should be very competitive and is a genuine threat. VOLERINA GIRL (3) Ran 7th last run at Scioto Downs. Aaron Merriman is a suitable booking. Always seems to find the line well. Won't be far away and represents an each way player.

Started at $7.50 and faded away to finish 6th last time at this track. Can show a better performance this time and will appreciate a good alley. Should be in the finish.

Close up last run at this track. Has early speed and positions nicely. Driver Christopher Lems and trainer Daren Harvey are a pair that can't be ignored. Tough competitor.

Finished 7th last run at Scioto Downs. Gains the services of driver Aaron Merriman. Should be swooping on the field late. Do not dismiss entirely.

Was $53.00 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last run here. Hard to see this being good enough.
