Northfield Park Race 15 - Race 15
JOHNNY SACK (1) scored at Cortland three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. SO SO DE VIE (4) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. BETTERLUVTOROCK (9) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind White Hair Rocks at this track over 1609m in a NW1500L4 on July 27 at $47.70. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Somewhere Vintage at this track over 1609m in a HOLTON on August 1 at $9.20. Strong winning hope.

Comes here second-up after two-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Mayor Mittcheese (1:54.20) in 6000CL on July 27 at $43.30. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Grigoriev at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a HGNW1001L4 on July 7 at $21. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind The Book Of Life at this track over 1609m in a NW1500L4 on August 5 at $11.90. Nice effort last time. Leading contender.
