Northfield Park Race 13

Race 13

Prize Money: $10,632

GROOVY JOE (4) has had four runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished fourth over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 17 metres. Big chance based on his best performances. U GOING (1) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. LOVIN ON THE BEACH (3) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. Something for the Multiples: BETTOR SAFE (8)

Last start game effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Cruzin America (1:53.20) in NW2500L4 on October 14 at $42.80. Two runs back won by 5 m (Fr5) at this track (1:56.30) beating Dcrockinmoondancer in NW1500L4 on October 2 at $5.20. Capable of another big run.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following October 2 run. Last start posted a big 5 m win (Fr4) at this track (1:55.00) beating Magic Shark in NW1500L4 on October 13 at $2.50. This race will be harder than that win. A repeat of the last effort looks unlikely.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 7 m by Sriracha Heat (1:54.10) in NW2500L4 on October 14 at $5.80. At the run before 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Thornbush Hanover (1:53.00) in NW5000L4 on October 4 at $99.40. Capable of a strong showing.
