Casino Race 8

Bernie Burrow At Stud Heat 2 H

Prize Money: $2,335

FOR MERCY SAKE (2) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (24.10) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Safe beginner and drawn well close to the inside. Better than latest and can atone here. STEELY DAWN (7) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts four wins and five placings. Placed last time (23.79) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths. Looks one of the chances. TONY TARKS (1) comes off an average run last start when sixth at Grafton over 350m behind Love This Bar (20.72) in a Grade 5. A big run wouldn't surprise. GRANDPA JOE (8) is another with top-three prospects.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th over 411m at this track beaten 9 lengths (24.10) behind Confetti Dan in a Grade 5 on May 14. Placed two back at this track. Has run hot time here with a 22.87 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Nearing another win after her success on April 16 at this track over 411m. Last start was second over 411m in 23.92, behind Confetti Dan. Looks a solid contender.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 350m at Grafton. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors five starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (23.79) at this track over 411m. Overdue for a win and gets her chance this time.
