Casino Race 8 - Happy Birthday Stephen Mcleod
MARTINIQUE (5) is an honest type in the frame at 14 of 36 starts including 10 wins, the latest scoring (16.90) over 300m at this track. Looks well placed here and should prove hard to beat again. PLATINUM ZEAL (7) finished fourth last time but just a few runs back pushed the clock when winning over 300m at this track, taking a Grade 5 in a sharp 16.81. Must include on winning run three back. WALK ME DADDY (1) found best form after showing good speed to lead to score by half a length at this track over 300m (17.10) in a Grade 5. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Expecting another bold showing. LADY BLAZINGTON (4) looks an each-way chance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 300m in 17.10 last start, beating Federal Escape. Likes the rails so has hit winning form and can measure up again.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 300m. Last start finished last over 352m at Q Lakeside beaten 9 lengths (20.50) behind Canya Onslaught in a Grade 4/5 on November 4. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fourth (17.20) over 300m at this track. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.
