Casino Race 4

Mark Hughes Foundation 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,750

NANGAR ZENA (1) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Q Parklands in a handy 30.17 beating Paw Queston. Has never been out of the placings from two starts out of this box. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. IMPRESSIVE GEM (8) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 3.5 lengths (23.49) at this track in a Grade 5 over 411m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Sure to measure up. WISHING STAR (3) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 3.5 lengths back in third (25.62) at Q Lakeside in a OPEN over 457m. Likely to be in the finish again. ASTON TOLHURST (2) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Comes off a (30.17) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 6 over 520m at Q Parklands. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Leading player.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 411m in 23.57. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 484m at this track at Grade 5 level. Is a danger.

Showing promise and was a winner three back. Last start missed the frame when a 12 length sixth (24.36) at this track. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.
