Charlton Race 3 - Ames Australasia Pace
DON CRUNCH (7) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 2190m at Mildura. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. BIGBASHASH (6) finished fourth last start, beaten 14 metres at Horsham over 1700m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Has ability and should be right in the finish. FIVE CENT (4) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1690m at Maryborough last time out. Has top-three claims. RAVISHING ROXY (3) won two runs back then her luck changed last time when she broke and finished 5.5 metres back in fifth over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Only needs to get things right to be in the money.

Failed to impress last start; broke in score up and was out of position at the start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 5th-6.6 beaten 5.5 m by Hellava Deal (1:58.30) on May 8 at $23. Showed ability the run before when she won by 2 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Mildura (2:14.50) beating Poster Art in on May 1 at $1.25 at the bell was leading 3.7. Sure to be thereabouts.

First up. At the last run he posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Sr1) at Mildura (2:47.60) beating Poster Art in on April 17 at $2.60 at the bell was 6th-12.8. Tricky draw to overcome but should go well.
