Northfield Park Race 2

1609M

Prize Money: $26,685

HELIUM N (1) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last nine starts including a third most recently at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field so he can play a significant role. MIKI SHAN N (6) was responsible for a far better performance last time out when he scored by 6 metres over 1609m at The Meadows. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. BACK IN MY DAY (4) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago. AMERICAN FLING (2) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. Something for the Multiples: FLAG PARTY (3)

Two back was well beaten into third behind Celtic Spirit at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on March 15 at $2. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind The Real Way at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on March 22 at $1.05. Leading contender and the inside draw helps.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Act Fast at The Meadows over 1609m in a NW7800L4 on March 13 at $2.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Bismarkduplessis at this track over 1609m in a OPEN II on March 22 at $2.80. Capable of a strong showing.

Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at Buffalo Raceway, beaten 21 m by Lip Reader (1:54.30) in OPEN on March 21 at $3.71. Two runs back won by a neck (Fr4) at Buffalo Raceway (1:56.30) beating Bettor Than Spring in OPEN on March 14 at $4.92. Not likely to trouble the top few.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 1.5 m (Fr3) at this track (1:52.10) beating American Fling in OPEN II on March 22 at $8.50. Two runs back 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Sumomentsomwhere (1:54.20) in NW10000L4 on March 15 at $11. Going well but looks tested in this line-up.
