Northfield Park Race 2 - Race 2
HEAR THE THUNDER (7) Close to claiming the win last time at Scioto Downs and showing consistent performance in races. Has run into the placings all attempts this campaign. Hard to dismiss. ROSE RUN CHAMP (5) Ran on into 5th last run at The Meadows and solid career start. Producing consistent results since returning from a break. Can win this. TOTAL SUM (8) Right up there last run at this venue and good career start. Should race on the speed. In a purple patch of form this preparation. Up to these. CROWNASAURUS (6) Just shy of the win last run at Scioto Downs. Won't be far away during the run. Goes very close.

Ran 8th last start at Scioto Downs but promising career start. Aaron Merriman is an advantage. Showing great form since coming back from a break. Seems unlikely.

Started at $33.00 and disappointing effort when 7th last time around here but having second career run. Does take a while to get into stride. Hard to entertain.

Started at $4.00 and kept chasing when 5th last run at The Meadows and good career start. In fine form since resuming from a break. Should be in the finish.

Close up last time at Scioto Downs and putting a tidy record together. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 3 attempts. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Just shy of the win last run at this track and solid career start. Should come to hand quickly. In fine form this preparation. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.
