Charlton Race 5 - Vale Carmel Fitzpatrick Pace
EYESEALITTLE (5) failed to flatter last time out when seventh, beaten 15 metres, over 2200m at Horsham. Her recent effort is not a true indication. Good enough to take out a race like this. SORRISO DE PRAIA (8) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 2240m at Swan Hill. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. NO EMOTION (3) finished sixth last start over 2190m at Maryborough. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. HUNGRY HOGARTH (4) is worth some thought based on his second over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

Last start 10th (Fr6) over 1700m after being wide early at Horsham, beaten 30 m by The Sportz Star (2:03.60) on June 22 at $61. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 2100m at this track was 6th-8.7 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Watch Your Back (2:37.80) on June 15 at $8. Better than last start and deserves another chance.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Yankee Mojoh at Mt Gambier over 1780m on June 9 at $23. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Keayang Payton at Mt Gambier over 2190m on June 30 at $34. Continues to race well and shapes as one to consider.
