Northfield Park Race 15 - Race 15
SONNYBYTHESEASIDE (2) made a nice return at his latest appearance two weeks ago, finishing 9 metres away in third over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. BUTANE (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m. GEORGE'S PICK (1) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.

Having his second run back from a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Fear Romeo (1:56.00) in 22500CLNW4 on March 24 at $2.20. Capable of taking this out with that first-up run out of the way.

Resuming after six months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Massive Speed at Bangor Raceway over 1609m in a ME SS 3YCP on October 11 at $20.50. Look for improvement on last start. Not out of it.

Returns to racing after a spell of five-and-a-half months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when ninth at very big odds behind Peppermint Pete. Hasn't won for ten months, so it's hard to be over-confident.
