Casino Race 4

Damien Pacitto Electrical 1-2 Win

Prize Money: $2,335

MING MERCILESS (1) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 2.25 lengths into third (23.82) at this track in a Grade 5 over 411m. Sure to be about the mark. HOPE I CAN (8) ran below her best last time finishing fourth (17.33) over 300m at this track in a Grade 5. Has won two of three starts from this draw. Must be included in calculations. DOMINANT XENA (4) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing second (23.64) at this track in a Grade 5 over 411m. Bold showing expected. KINGSBRAE ARLO (7) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (23.82) at this track over 411m. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 23.64 over 411m at this track. This appears within her reach.

Just been plugging away and needs to improve after being unplaced in four tries. Last start 4th over 350m at Grafton. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (23.80) over 411m at this track. Boxed out wide but is in the mix.

Was out of the placings at her last run before a break of nine months when fourth at this track over 300m. Tough draw but has speed and will be in this for a long way.
