Northfield Park Race 9

1609M

Prize Money: $31,346

GRANTMEAWISH (5) finished third last start, beaten 4.5 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Big chance in a similar race. LAKE CHARLES (4) was successful at his most recent outing by 4.5 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. COCOSDREAM (2) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. BAMBOOZLER (7) must be respected after scoring last start by 20 metres at this track over 1609m.
