NORTHERN FIRE BALL

Two weeks ago, this horse performed poorly in a straight course race, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with an even pace throughout. Returning to Happy Valley over 1200m, he will carry five pounds more weight this time. His finishing kick was slightly lacking and there hasn't been any standout collaboration between the trainer and jockey. However, he possesses early speed potential and has recorded three wins in nine starts over this distance, making him a possible contender for an upset."
