Northfield Park Race 15 - Race 15
COCOSDREAM A (1) failed to flatter last time out when eighth, beaten 10 metres, over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This should be an easier assignment so he is in the right race to return to form. AMERICAN FLING (2) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 22 metres into ninth at The Meadows over 1609m. Has the benefit of a far better draw. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a much better performance. PIZZAGAINA (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by 11 metres at this track over 1609m. LAKESIDE BUDDY (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m.

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:53.30) beating Bullvillespandemic in NW2500L4 on April 22 at $1.40. Two runs back 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Groovy Joe (1:52.30) in NW5000L4 on April 12 at $3. Finds a few better. Can't recommend.
