Charlton Race 3 - North West Ag Services Trot
WALKIN UNDERSTARZ (6) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1710m at Ballarat, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. ROBERT JOHN (3) turned in a much better run last time out when he scored by 2 metres over 1710m at Ballarat. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Recent effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. RASENGAN (5) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1710m at Ballarat last time out. CHRISTMAS BABE NZ (4) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1790m at Warragul on June 8.

Last start 6th (FT Fr7) over 2600m at Stawell, at the bell was 7th-12.3 beaten 17 m by Night Whisperer (3:28.50) on June 1 at $41. Two runs back 4th (Fr3) over 2200m at Ballarat was 5th-8.78 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Onawingandaprayer (2:47.90) on April 30 at $4.60. This looks a far sterner test.

13-year-old mare showed improvement last time. 2nd (Fr1) over 1790m at Warragul, at the bell was 5th-8.4 beaten 17 m by Mista Walker (2:15.60) on June 8 at $71. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into eighth behind Betsy Anne at Bendigo over 1650m on June 3 at $61. Will find this tough.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 1790m after showing early pace at Warragul, at the bell was leading 3.4 beaten 22 m by Mista Walker (2:15.60) on June 8 at $7. At her previous start 12th (Fr6) over 2150m after showing early pace at Bendigo, beaten 60 m by Allwatfunjingles (2:46.90) on May 20 at $26. Same draw this time and can do much better.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2 m second behind Robert John at Ballarat over 1710m last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres second at Bendigo over 1650m same class on June 3. Can maintain the solid form.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Little Miss Valley at Shepparton over 1690m on June 2 at $17. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind At The Distance at Ballarat over 1710m on June 11 at $6.50. Going along well. One of the main contenders.
