Charlton Race 3

Sprayer Spares Trotters Handicap

Prize Money: $4,500

ALFIE ALWAYS (8) made it two wins from his last three appearances when getting home by 5 metres at Shepparton last week. Came from the back row there and worked before finding the front so the win was full of merit. Big chance again. VAN DOREN (5) produced a strong performance last start when he scored by 4 metres at Gunbower. Starts from a 10m handicap this time but is a chance to make it two on the bounce. POPPY POPSTAR (11) is on the radar off consistent form, beaten only 5m last start to follow a string of top-four finishes. B D YASOTHON (9) hasn't raced for eight months but is proven fresh and has trialled. Expect a good effort to kick off this prep.

Didn't do much last time out, 9th (Fr1) over 1690m at Maryborough, beaten 30 m by Countess Chiron (2:04.20) in NR 50 to 55 on December 4 at $101. Before that hung in on scoring up, 8th (Fr3) over 2190m after showing early speed at Maryborough, beaten 21 m by That Other Thing (2:48.50) in NR 40 to 49 on November 27 at $151. Cannot enthuse.

Last start 7th (Fr1) over 2180m at Stawell, beaten 65 m by Aussie Muscle (2:47.90) in NR up to 55 on December 1 at $71. At his previous start 9th (FT Fr4) over 2120m at St Arnaud, beaten 50 m by Alfie Always (2:46.20) in No NR on November 10 at $11. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Fitter and could do better from a nice draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, 10th (FT Fr1) over 2100m at Geelong well beaten by Frosty Girl (2:40.60) in No NR on December 6 at $34. Before that 4th (10m Fr2) over 2190m at Mt Gambier, beaten 1.5 m by Earl Patrick (2:56.50) in No NR on November 19 at $1.95. This will be too tough.

Last start won just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 4 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr3) held up early, at Gunbower (2:34.60) beating Shield Maiden in NR up to 49 on December 8 at $5 at the bell was 3rd-4. Great chance to make it two in a row.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr2) over 2030m after showing early speed at Gunbower was 2nd-0.4 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Van Doren (2:34.60) in NR up to 49 on December 8 at $9.50. Showed ability the outing before when he ran on from midfield and won by 1.1 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Maryborough (2:49.10) beating Beautiful Sunrise in NR up to 39 on November 27 at $2.25 at the bell was leading 4.6.
