Northfield Park Race 5

1609M

Stake: $9,248

FEAR THE STATE (3) turned in a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on July 16. Has the benefit of a good draw. Primary contender in a similar assignment. STAGE DANCER (4) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back. WHY NOT BLUE CHIP (5) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: HEAVENLY HERO (7)
