Casino Race 10 - Mark Hughes Foundation Heat 5 H
HERE'S RYDER (6) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with four wins and a placing from six tries. Placed last time (17.37) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths. Looks suited and should go close. SWING BY (7) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 17.32 beating Hudson's Dream. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Should be in this for a long way. SHUFFLE (8) placed in a Grade 5 when a 2.75 lengths third this course and distance last time in a personal Best Time (17.18) and also clocked one of the quickest times on the card. Strong latest and expected to measure up. NUGGET ROBERTS (1) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length sixth (17.79) over 300m at this track. Hard to envisage a win.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 300m in 17.32 last start, beating Hudson's Dream. Consistent performer from this draw. Top chance on best form.
