NORTHERN FIRE BALL

Recent winner, two weeks ago over the same distance displayed strong performance leading from start to finish for victory. With three wins in eight starts, it currently holds the best time within its group. An advantageous barrier draw is secured and possesses sufficient early speed to compete for a leading position. Based on ratings, it’s considered the strongest contender in this race and maintains stable form, however, will carry seven pounds more weight this time. A strong finishing kick hasn’t been evident and the trainer-jockey partnership isn't particularly noteworthy, but remains a competitive threat.
