Casino Race 8

Ladbrokes February Bonus Heat 1 H

Prize Money: $3,135

NANGAR NUGGET (7) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a four-start winning streak, but could only manage fifth (25.79) at Q Lakeside. Got the money at his only try from this box. Rates on top in this line up. LIAM BLUEY (8) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (28.02) at this track. Form at the trip sound including four wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. HE'S A BONUS (3) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 4th and beaten 7 lengths at Grafton (20.38). Should be in this for a long way. JAVEN'S SHOT (2) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Was out of placings last time (28.34) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Grafton over 350m. Last start finished 4th on February 17 over 350m at Grafton behind Integrity Al beaten 7 lengths (20.38) in a Grade 5. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 7 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (20.28) at Grafton over 350m. Prepared to overlook.
