Stawell Race 8 - Bi-Rite Stawell Pace
KING KASEY (4) was responsible for a far better performance last time out when he scored by 2.75 metres over 1750m at Swan Hill. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it two on the trot. GOLD IN PARIS (5) is one of the main contenders after winning her past three starts, the latest at Terang two weeks ago when leading all of the way. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. SPORTSBOU (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by 9 metres at Mildura over 2190m after she raced outside the leader for the entire trip as the favourite. STARZINHEREYES (9) could be close to a win after a second from a wide barrier at Maryborough last week.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 1.5 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at Terang (2:39.90) beating Gunforhire in on August 30 at $4.20 at the bell was leading 2. Two runs back won by 11 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Ararat (2:41.40) beating Rockin Gemma in M on August 23 at $4.80 at the bell was leading 2.4. Sure to be there at the business end.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Gold In Paris at Terang over 2180m on August 30 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Asmileandawinx at Maryborough over 1690m in a M on September 7 at $4.80. A big run would not surprise.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1750m at Swan Hill beaten 45 m by King Kasey (2:06.70) on September 8 at $151. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 1710m at Ballarat beaten 40 m by Topsies Bling (2:04.10) on September 2 at $151. Wait until the form picks up.
