Charlton Race 3 - Wiran Pace

SCOOTER LOU (3) hit his peak third-up when he came from a wider barrier than this but found the lead and went on to score by 3.4 metres at Ballarat last time out. Likely to push forward again from this nice draw so could go back to back. MUSELET (5) should find this easier than his last two appearances and scored back-to-back wins prior. He is suited returning to a circuit and distance where he has been successful in both attempts. WICKED WIZARD (6) added to his good form when he came from the back row to place last time out and was a winner from this barrier three back Shepparton. Must respect. SPORTSBOU (7) draws wider but there was some merit in the last effort and she is proven here.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fourth behind Another Woods at Melton over 2240m in a NR 48 to 51 on April 24 at $7. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind All Over It at Shepparton over 2190m in a NR up to 55 on May 3 at $14. One of the primary contenders.

Comes here second-up after two-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 5th (Fr3) over 2190m at Mt Gambier, beaten 35 m by Spook Crocker (2:46.10) in NR 50 to 59 on April 21 at $71. Has the job ahead against this lot.
