Charlton Race 5 - Welcome Heenan's Charlton Newsagency Pace

CELESTIAL ZODIAC (7) was successful at his most recent outing by a head in a nice return to form at Melton over 1720m. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Big chance in a similar assignment. MARKLEIGH CAZ (9) finished seventh last start over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 8 metres, after a modest eighth at Melton the run prior. Finds a suitable assignment and can bounce back to form. CLEM MCARDLE (2) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1720m at Melton. Watch closely. DALLAS CHARLIE (4) has some gate speed and must be respected after scoring last start by a head at Cobram over 1670m.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Flexi Bet at Cobram over 1670m in a NR up to 40 on December 29 at $3.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Royal Cadence at Maryborough over 2190m in a NR 40 to 45 on January 3 at $7.50. Sure to be in the mix.
