Northfield Park Race 9

1609M

Prize Money: $101,089

LT LOVERBOY (5) continued a solid run of recent form when he finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten by 4.5 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can take care of this line-up. HILLTOP SONAR (1) ran fifth last start at Scioto Downs over 1609m, beaten 14 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. WHAT A BUCKEYE (8) is a big chance following a run of three top-three finishes, the latest at Scioto Downs eight days ago. Real threat to the top selections. VEKNA (4) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score over 1609m at this track.
