Grafton Race 8 - Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase Regional Heat 2 H
CASH RIOT (1) comes here after a good win at this track over 350m in 20.03. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. SHORTY BOY (2) is a well performed dog and winner of 20 races who is worth forgiving after finishing out of the placings at Gunnedah (25.32). Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. GOLDSTAR TYSON (8) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (25.56) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Can feature again. RED HOT PENNY (3) is a last-start placegetter out of the same box - worth considering.

Didn't make the placings last time at Gunnedah (25.32) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Has three wins and four placings from nine starts from the draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Capalaba over 366m. Last start finished 2nd over 457m at Q Lakeside beaten one length (25.43) behind Barefoot Rascal in a Grade 5 on August 15. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card at the latest appearance. Worth following up.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won easily by 5.5 lengths at Q Parklands (29.63) beating She's Mayhem in a Grade 5 on August 13. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 484m at Casino. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

In the money last time at this track (25.56) in a NG, finishing a 5.5 lengths second. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from five starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
