Charlton Race 5 - Heenan's Charlton Newsagency Maiden Trot
ALDEBARAN BRIANNA (6) has made mistakes in both outings off a spell but still managed to place when fresh two back. Still leaning but she is building in fitness and has the ability to win if she gets it right. NO SHENANIGANZ (4) will be improved by his debut effort for fifth at Ararat. Can make an impact in this line-up. VOUCHER QUEEN (3) has changed yards since ending last prep with a third at Globe Derby. Readied with two trials and draws well so is capable of a forward showing while fresh. NOSTRA NIPOTINA (5) has trialled well since breaking last start. Capable enough with manners.

Showed a glimmer of form last start 3rd (Fr4) over 2195m at Ararat was 3rd-5.7 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Sister Molly (2:54.80) in MAIDEN on April 27 at $17. But The run before was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth behind Bettor Man at Ballarat over 1710m in a MAIDEN on April 23 at $31. Not as keen on his chances in this field.

Resuming after a layoff of nine months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when eighth unwanted in the market behind Artigas. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
