Casino Race 8 - Mark Hughes Foundation Heat 3 H
LADY BLAZINGTON (1) stuck on well last time to finish 1.3 lengths back in second (17.35) at this track in a Grade 5 over 300m. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from four starts. Can go on with it. MID CITY BOSS (7) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at Grafton over 350m behind Wolfgang (20.76) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. WALK ME DADDY (2) missed the frame last time when fourth (17.68) at this track but prior to that had three placings in a row. Has a good record here including three wins. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. MAKE A RUPEE (6) flew the lids and led all the way last time. Will be thereabouts.

Risky starter who put in a fair effort in easier race last start. Looks well drawn here from the rails and will take some catching if jumps well. Should prove hard to beat.

Fast starter. Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on July 13 over 300m at this track behind Round The Ridges beaten 5 lengths (17.68). Missed the frame last time but prior to that had three placings in a row. Deserves another chance.

Missed the frame latest (17.44) when seventh over 300m at this track in a Grade 3/4. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
