Charlton Race 4 - Agright Pace
SPORTING RAGE (1) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 12 metres into fifth at Maryborough over 2190m. Facing a tougher assignment but from this better draw he is good enough to make his presence felt. OWEN THE SAINTS (5) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 5 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. SOHO AMARYLLIS (8) is in the mix at her first run since scoring over 1690m at Shepparton ten weeks ago. CELESTIAL ZODIAC (9) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1690m at Shepparton last time out.

Very hard to beat.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr7) over 1660m after racing wide at Hamilton, beaten 50 m by Gold In Paris (1:59.70) in M on August 10 at $23. Before that 8th (Fr5) over 1790m at Mildura, at the bell was 2nd-0.7 beaten 9 m by Odins Black Crows (2:16.00) on July 3 at $21. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Finished off last campaign recording on from midfield and won by a head (Fr3) at Shepparton (2:01.20) beating The King Oftheroad in on June 9 at $7.50. Looks very hard to beat while fresh.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr7) over 1690m at Shepparton was 8th-18.93 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Kia Ora Beauty (2:01.40) on August 4 at $11. At his previous start 6th (Sr1) over 2190m at Maryborough beaten 22 m by Savon De Roche (2:41.50) on July 13 at $14. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.
