Charlton Race 2 - North West Ag Services Trot
NIGHT WHISPERER (7) made it two wins from his last five appearances two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.4 metres over 2190m at Maryborough. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Won't find this any harder and he can make it two on the trot. MYSTERY FRED (6) had been building to a win and it arrived last time out when he scored by a head over 2180m at Terang. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the strong recent effort. BOUTIKA (8) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1720m at Melton. Each way value. MAXIMEZ (5) won two starts ago then things went amiss last start when he broke and finished a distant last over 1720m at Melton. Beautifully placed and is able to make amends.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 3rd (Fr4) over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 21 m by Frosty Girl (2:45.80) in NR up to 49 on January 9 at $71. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth behind Straight To Thetop at Cobram over 2170m in a No NR on January 6 at $23. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 1650m at Bendigo beaten 18 m by Im Bobby (2:) in NR 66 to 75 on January 4 at $4.60. Showed ability the run before when he ran on from midfield and won by 6 m as favourite (Fr5) at Menangle (2:51.30) beating Majestic Breeze in NR up to 54 on December 17 at $1.65 at the bell was leading 4.6m on the pegs. Sure to be in the mix.

Looked good last start. Won by 1.4 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Maryborough (2:43.90) beating Romantic Nina in NR 50 to 55 on January 10 at $8.50. Two runs back solid effort when 3rd (FT Fr1) over 2180m at Terang beaten 4 m by Mystery Fred (2:47.30) in No NR on December 30 at $2.50. Can go back-to-back.
