Charlton Race 1

Gartakarr Maiden Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

LOUS MAMBO (1) will find this easier than his last attempt and was racing consistently with a string of top-four finishes prior. Finds a suitable assignment and should get his chance from the ace draw. JANSEN (5) draws wider but there has been merit in his last two outings at Bendigo, finishing runner-up two back and only 4.4m off the winner after racing parked last time. Working towards a win. LOCHINVAR CHANDON (8) progressed off a debut fourth to place last time out at Wagga. Draws for a trail and has scope for further improvement. JUST LIKE NUGGET (7) draws wide must be considered after placing in his last two appearances.

Comes here second-up after five weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 2180m at Stawell, beaten 45 m by Magellan (2:44.00) in MAIDEN on April 3 at $12. This looks too tough.

Last start 5th (Sr3) over 2150m at Bendigo was 6th-8.15 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Talisker Skipper (2:41.00) in MAIDEN on April 29 at $34. Two runs back 11th (Fr6) over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 25 m by La Smooch (2:00.60) in MAIDEN on April 22 at $6.50. Hard to make a case.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Waysam at Kilmore over 1690m in a MAIDEN M on April 16 at $1.35. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Lonesome Stranger at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 2yo MAIDEN on April 24 at $7.50. Working towards a win.
