Casino Race 8

Casino Golf Club

Stake: $3,080

WESTERN LIES (8) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 6 lengths (19.66) at Grafton. Ideally placed to score again. BRICK AND STICK (7) ran a convincing 23.15 winning over 411m at this track last start. Expected to feature again. HERE COMES DYLAN (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (20.09) at Grafton. Solid record here at this trip including 11 wins. Overdue and is among the main hopes. SWIFT GRANT (5) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was an eye-catching winner scoring by half a length in a Mix 1/2/3 at this track. Will need to find best form.

Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing second in 23.22 at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Must be included.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to score by 2.75 lengths in a NG last start at this track, recording a convincing 23.15 over the 411m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Solid performance to post a big 6 lengths win at Grafton over 350m (19.66) beating Here Comes Dylan in NG on January 11. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 22.94. Top chance.
