Casino Race 6 - Sam Ensby Memorial 1-3 Win Heat 1 H
CARRAMAR RAVEN (1) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a half a length second over 300m at this track, clocking 17.08. Good form should continue. TEA ROSE (6) was well back throughout but attacked the line strongly to place, 3 lengths from the winner (19.93) at Capalaba in Restricted WIN. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. SAUSAGE GAMBLER (7) three runs back produced a sharp 27.74 win over 484m at this track then has found the minor money in two runs since. Has the ability and looks a key chance. BONALL RETURNS (8) proved himself from this box last start so worth keeping in mind.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (17.08) at this track over 300m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.
