Charlton Race 1

Heenan's Charlton Newsagency Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

NO EMOTION (5) made it two wins in a row last start, making up plenty of ground to score by 4 metres over 2180m at Stawell. Meets a comparable field and he can add to his recent outstanding results. FEEL THE REIGN (2) finished fifth last time out, beaten 4.5 metres, in a far better performance at Shepparton over 1690m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. OPTIMAL (3) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 2150m at Bendigo five days ago. HUNGRY HOGARTH (4) is better than his last-start run for ninth over 2150m at Bendigo would suggest. Has place claims.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early pace at Shepparton beaten 4.5 m by Hello Possums (2:04.50) on June 2 at $6.50. The run previous 9th (Fr2) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 6th-16.89 beaten 12 m by Line Dance (1:56.30) on May 27 at $16. Can make amends.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 2150m at Bendigo, at the bell was 6th-10.64 beaten 13 m by Direct Command (2:35.60) on June 10 at $41. At his previous start 6th (Fr1) over 1785m at Stawell was 3rd-6.5 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Isthisthereallife (2:10.90) on June 1 at $13. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.

Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 5th (Sr4) over 1790m at Mildura beaten 40 m by Ruggards Gee Tee (2:10.70) on June 5 at $3. Before that, 4th (Sr4) over 2150m at Bendigo was 11th-17.46 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Zoom Zoom Boom (2:37.60) on May 27 at $4. Big chance to atone.
