Casino Race 8

Ladbrokes September Bonus Heat 2 H

Prize Money: $3,235

FOR MERCY SAKE (2) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only a nose from the winner Aston Barbie in second(28.01) at this track. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Rates highly and will give a great sight. MIGHTY ALAN (1) failed to feature last start after being shuffled back early at this track, but prior to that won comfortably by 4.5 lengths at this track (23.61) beating Steely Dawn in a Grade 5 on August 17. Cannot be left out. MERRY MERRIWA (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (23.94) in a Grade 5 at this track. Form at the trip sound including four wins. Should be thereabouts. BURNSIDE BAMBI (4) form at this distance reads well.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 411m. Last start finished 6th on August 24 over 411m at this track behind Remi Nath beaten 14 lengths (24.46) in a Grade 5. Looks a strong winning hope.

Hit the frame latest (28.01) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Is yet to miss the placings from this box, including two wins. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
