Charlton Race 1

Julie Mcgrath / Chris Livingston Pace

Prize Money: $4,000

VERY TEMPTING (3) finished fifth last start over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten 6 metres, after a modest sixth at Shepparton the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he can make amends. MISSMALACHITE (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 13 metres at Ballarat over 2200m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. JOEYS HANGOVER (1) is better than his last-start seventh over 1690m at Shepparton. Each-way claims. BLUE OCEAN (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1690m at Shepparton.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 5th (Fr1) over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten 6 m by Treacheroustimes (2:06.30) in NR up to 37 on April 21 at $6. The run previous 6th (Fr3) over 1690m at Shepparton beaten 25 m by Luverboy (2:03.40) in NR up to 49 on April 14 at $61. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.
