Northfield Park Race 6

1609M

Prize Money: $27,104

HELIUM N (6) made it two wins and a minor placing from his last three starts when he scored by 17 metres on February 22 over 1609m at this track. Primary contender in a similar assignment. MOMENT IS HERE (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at The Meadows, finishing third and just 0.9 metres from the winner. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. CELTIC SPIRIT N (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by 9 metres at this track over 1609m. LITENINGONTHEBEACH (2) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 11 metres at The Meadows over 1609m.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr4) at The Meadows (1:51.30) beating Trumpster Blues in NW9500L4 on February 20 at $1.30. Going well enough to play a big role again.

Beaten favourite last start when third at The Meadows on February 20. Proved too good the start prior at The Meadows on February 13. Going nicely and looks a top chance.
