Northfield Park Race 6 - Race 6
PENNYS PINK PEARL (5) Narrowly beaten last start at this venue and getting better in recent performances. Finishes off strongly. Cannot underestimate. MARK MY WORDS (6) Threw down a serious challenge last run here. May see an upturn in form. Will be positive in the run early. Driver Aaron Merriman is a strong choice aboard. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. WHITECAPS (8) Competed in a tight contest last start around here and was a debutant last start. Has to be included. LANDLUBBER (1) Didn't threaten when 6th last start at The Meadows. Giving another chance here and drawn beautifully. Shows good early pace. Goes very close.

Started at $12.00 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last start at The Meadows. Giving another chance here and gets the perfect alley. Could feature prominently.

Was $25.00 and came in 5th last time at this track but having second career run. Will need a big effort to win this.

Started $53.00 and close up last time at this venue but having second race start. Likely to be well placed early. Very unlikely.

Was $4.33 and narrowly denied victory last run here. May see an upturn in form. Should jump out and bowl along. Aaron Merriman is an advantage. Expecting a strong showing.

Started at $28.00 and finished 6th last start at the track. Might have to make up considerable ground. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Threw down a serious challenge last start here and fitter for debut run. Should go close.
