Casino Race 7 - Mark Hughes Foundation Heat 2 H
ORSON ROCKET (5) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 5.5 lengths away in fourth (17.63). Was in the money the start prior. Tough to beat if on-song. AUSSIE STORM (1) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when second beaten 3.5 lengths (17.49). Boasts a strong record from this draw with four wins and three minor placings from 10 starts. Must be included in calculations. BUTCHER (3) turned in a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 300m behind Martinique (17.70) in a Grade 5. Bold showing expected. CARRAMAR RAVEN (2) can measure up with the right run.

Can settle forward and she showed improvement to place in her last two runs including finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on July 17 over 300m at this track behind Martinique beaten 3.5 lengths (17.49). Finished 2nd on July 17 over 300m at this track behind Martinique beaten 3.5 lengths (17.49) in a Grade 5. Safe beginner and drawn to feature off the inside rail.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (20.07) at Q Lakeside over 352m. This appears within her reach.

Missed the frame latest (17.70) when fifth over 300m at this track in a Grade 5. Has two successes and five minors from 11 starts from box 3. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 350m at Grafton in a handy (20.46), beating Heidi Bonus. Will find this a bit tougher, prefer to watch at this stage.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on July 13 over 300m at this track behind Noah's Boy beaten 5.5 lengths (17.63) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at this track. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Was out of placings last time (17.56) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Among the main chances.
