Charlton Race 2

Community Bank Charlton & District Pace

Prize Money: $7,000

YAPPER (2) finished seventh last start, beaten 13 metres at Mildura over 2190m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. LILSTREPO (5) good effort to finish fourth two starts ago at Mildura but was less impressive at her latest appearance over 1720m at Melton, beaten 50 metres into eighth after being handy in the run. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. TO THE NINES (6) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 3.5 metres at Bendigo over 1650m. EMILY VINCENT (7) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 2240m at Melton.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Sr1) over 2190m at Mildura was 6th-8.4 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Little Wonder (2:43.00) on June 5 at $4.20. The start before was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 9th-17.36 beaten 10 m by Major Blitz (1:56.90) on May 27 at $81. Can play a far greater role this time.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing eighth behind Sharp Interest at Shepparton over 1690m on May 26 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Tivoli at Bendigo over 2150m on June 3 at $5.50. Sure to be thereabouts.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m sixth behind Angels Watching at Bendigo over 2150m last start. Before that was beaten 1.75 metres third at Horsham over 2200m same class on May 25. Can bounce back.

Racing consistently. Last start came from midfield and won by 3.5 m (Fr1) at Bendigo (1:57.30) beating King Saint in on June 10 at $8.50 at the bell was 4th-4.36. Sure to be in the finish again.
