Casino Race 8 - Charcoal Inn
FOR MERCY SAKE (5) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Recorded a 6 length win (27.61) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Expected to be in the finish. DASHING DENNIS (1) missed the frame last time when fourth (20.48) at Grafton but prior to that had two placings in a row. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. KOORINGA MILLIE (4) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and five placings from 15 starts. Hit the frame latest (27.98) when second at this track in a Grade 5. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. GOT NO GOGGLES (3) collected a minor prize last start in a close contest - must be considered.

Didn't make the placings last time at Grafton (20.48) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Looks a key chance on best form.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 484m in 27.61 last start, beating Country Form. In-form and measures right up. Hard to beat.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow sixth (20.22) over 350m at Grafton. Racing well and has to be included.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (23.80) over 411m at this track. Boxed out wide and appears tested on latest effort.
