Sale Race 5

Grv Distance Racing (0-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $3,940

RAPIDO SPIRIT (1) ran good time (39.86) when placing two back at Warragul but missed the frame latest in a Special conditions H at this track. Key player on best and worth another chance. CHARLESTOWN (3) has a strong record this track and trip including two wins from three starts. Missed the frame latest (37.58) when sixth over 640m at this track in a Special conditions H. Looks suited here and can measure up. THIRD TIME CHARM (8) tackled far tougher grade latest but ran very well to hit the frame when 3rd (34.79) at Sandown in Restricted WIN. Was a winner the start prior in easier at this track. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Will give a great sight again. NO CLUE (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Missed the frame last start when a 16 length eighth (37.44) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at Sandown. Looks a leading contender on best and expected to bounce back.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (30.08) over 515m at Sandown. Aided by a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished 6th in a Special conditions H on December 28 over 640m at this track behind Fade To Black beaten 17 lengths (37.58). More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Missed the frame latest (37.36) when sixth over 640m at this track in a Special conditions race. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 5 lengths (39.55) over 680m at Warragul. Ran the fastest time on the program in the latest win. Worth following up.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (43.25) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 11 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (34.79) at Sandown over 595m. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
