Northfield Park Race 8 - Race 8
GILLETTE (7) Finished with purpose when winning last start around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Driver Justin Irvine and trainer Garry Martin are a proven combination. Winnable race. YOU GO COCOA (4) 2yo debutant by Well Said for Jason Thompson. Driver Aaron Merriman is highly regarded. Watch the market moves. APPLE BY THE SEA (9) Narrowly beaten last time at Scioto Downs. Should be going forward early. Each way bet suggested. SAY HEY MIKI (5) Competed in a tight contest last time at Scioto Downs and was a debutant last start. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race.

First race appearance 2yo by Well Said for trainer Jason Thompson. Aaron Merriman adds value. Respect the betting.

Narrowly denied victory last time at Scioto Downs and was on debut last time. Stands out as good value.

Strong effort to the line to win last start at the track and showing consistent performance in races. Justin Irvine and Garry Martin are usually competitive together. Major chance.
