Casino Race 12 - Mark Hughes Foundation
SWEET CONFETTI (1) missed the frame last time, finishing 7th (23.99) last time in a Grade 4 at this track. Form here at this distance is strong including four wins. Looks the one to beat on her best form. PAW UNTIL PAYDAY (3) drew the inside and won last time at this track and distance (16.93) after drifting well back, scoring by 4.5 lengths. Expected to feature again. WHERE'S THE BOSS (2) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Grafton behind Heroic Federer (20.09) in a NG. Has the pace to be prominent. Hard to beat again. NEEDLE AND SEAT (8) placed two back in a Grade 5 at Capalaba then backed that up with a second (17.40) over 300m at Taree Super Track last time.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but she goes well over this track and distance with four wins from seven starts. Happy to overlook recent performances. Well placed and gets chance to find best.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (20.09) at Grafton over 350m. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 300m in 16.93 last start, beating Brick And Stick. Top chance again.

Last start finished eighth in a Mix 1/2/3 on October 1 over 300m at this track behind Paw Until Payday, beaten 13 lengths (17.88). Looks up against it this time.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing seventh (17.56) at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate and looks safely held.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 300m in 16.95. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 300m at this track at Mix 1/2/3 level. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by a nose over 300m at this track (17.15). Among the chances and worth following up.
