Northfield Park Race 3 - Race 3
SWEET STEVIE (2) Narrowly beaten last start at Scioto Downs and good career start. Should race on the speed. Been in the money each attempt this preparation. Strong hope. SIDE EYE (4) Close up last start at The Meadows. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. SOARING SOPHIA (7) Right in the mix last start at Scioto Downs and fitter for debut run. Should jump out and bowl along. Deserves consideration. BETTERBEHOPPIN (6) Right up there last time at Scioto Downs. Underrated.

Jumped at $25.00 and finished 8th last start around here. Does take a while to get into stride. Not in this.

Right in the mix last start at The Meadows. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.
