Charlton Race 6 - Ames Usa 4th July Meeting On 6th July Pace
SHEZABLUECHIP (6) went back last start then worked home in good style to score by 1.75 metres at Shepparton over 1690m, a well-deserved victory following her recent run of solid form. Won't find this any harder and she can make it two on the trot. MISSMALACHITE (7) is racing well with five top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at Stawell over 2180m. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Recent efforts are good enough to put her right in the finish. THE REGULATOR (9) must be considered after he finished runner-up when resuming over 1609m at Geelong a week-and-a-half ago. SALSBOY (10) is also in contention although the draw makes his job a bit tougher.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 2190m at Shepparton beaten 11 m by Queenhigh Flush (2:45.80) on June 2 at $11. Before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 2150m at Bendigo beaten 35 m by Wow You Can Dance (2:38.20) on May 27 at $34. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Theroux at Kilmore over 2180m on May 21 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Gallico at Warragul over 1790m on June 8 at $71. Top chance in this line-up.

Going well. Last start won by 1.75 m as favourite (Sr1) at Shepparton (2:05.90) beating Rockin Charmer in on June 9 at $2.80 at the bell was 4th-6.44. Big chance of back-to-back wins.

Two back was well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Happily at Horsham over 1700m on May 25 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Freak Out at Stawell over 2180m on June 1 at $5.50. Sure to be right there at the business end.

Having his second run back from a spell. Good run when 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at Geelong was leading by 3.85 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Bond Girl (2:01.10) on June 5 at $5. Will improve with that run under the belt. Will be a lot better for that hitout.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 2150m after showing early pace at Bendigo, at the bell was 4th-7.68 beaten 13 m by Dreamtime Nala (2:39.70) on June 3 at $5. The start before 6th (Fr6) over 2150m at Bendigo, at the bell was 5th-10.23 beaten 6 m by Kyrgios (2:39.80) on May 27 at $14. This looks a suitable assignment.
