Saturday the 25th of November marks the second edition of the TAB Finals Day and will again be hosted by Morphettville with almost $1M on offer for connections.

The lightly raced 6yo gelding then ran in a second heat of the series placing 8th by 4.4L at Murray Bridge.

"TAKE ME NORTH is in great order and it's a nice opportunity to place him for strong money and on such a great days racing for South Australia. He had a bit of longer gap than usual between runs after his win and raced a touch keenly so he should be improved by this." said Dean Alexander

Gary Alexander shared " TAKE ME NORTH will drop 6kgs on his last run and 2kg from his win with an important claim for Alana Livesey. He has a 3.5kg positive swing on the second placed runner on that day BIT OF A REBEL which is favourite for tomorrows event."

"HIs dam was a 6 time winner and performed very well in black type events from 1200m to 2000m whilst his sires progeny ( Needs Further ) enjoy a bit of time. This fellow is just coming on nicely, it's a good challenge for him."
