Charlton Race 2 - Charlton Caravan Park Pace (1St Heat)
OUR ULTIMATE GRACY NZ (7) scored at the first run back from a break last start over 2100m at this track on February 2, finishing 1.1 metres ahead of her rivals. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Her last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. FAIR CHANCE (4) finished third last start, beaten 3 metres at Stawell over 1785m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. JAMES GARNER NZ (3) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at Stawell over 1785m. Hard to find fault. IMAGINATION ORO (8) is a consistent performer with three top-three finishes on the trot. Won't let backers down.

Improved last start with a game effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1145m after being wide early at Cranbourne beaten 1.3 m by Starzinhereyes (1:20.90) in NR 49 to 53 on January 18 at $7.50. Draws the inside and another bold showing is expected.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fourth behind Our Ultimate Gracy at this track over 2100m in a NR 50 to 55 on February 2 at $11. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Chogi at Stawell over 1785m in a NR 50 to 55 on February 9 at $6.50. Has a nice draw and expected to figure prominently again.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 5th (Sr4) over 1790m at Mildura, beaten 5 m by Mad Punta (2:14.10) in 2yo MAIDEN on December 11 2024 at $12. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.

Only had 2 starts last preparation. Returned to racing with a handy win by 1.1 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:33.90) beating Spirit Of Sahara in NR 50 to 55 on February 2 at $2.40 at the bell was leading 1.3. Tough to beat again.
