Casino Race 9 - Charcoal Inn
MCKEON (8) has a superb record at this track and trip, unbeaten so far from three starts. Missed the frame latest (25.78) when fourth over 457m at Q Lakeside in a Free For All. Expected to go close. SWIFT GRANT (5) is a talented type who has been in the money at the last five starts, the latest finishing second (23.39) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning five races. Looks suited and expected to run well. KICKER SPLASH (6) missed the frame last time at Grafton but just three runs back flew around 300m at this track in 16.84. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. BIG BUCKETS (1) form at this distance reads well.

Ran a better race when third behind Othello at Grafton last start over 350m (20.13). Likely to play a major role.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3 length second (17.01) over 300m at this track. Solid showing expected.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.3 lengths second at this track but did record a fast 23.39 over the 411m trip. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 8 lengths at Grafton. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Looks a key chance here on best and given another chance.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (23.41) over 411m at this track. Has a solid record from out wide but will need the breaks to go his way.

Hasn't threatened at her last couple but she does have good record over this track and distance. Has an exceptional 23.03 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
