Charlton Race 1 - Gmg Financial Group Pace
JOEYS HANGOVER (6) resumes from a spell of four months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 2190m at Shepparton. Will have plenty of admirers. BOSS MAJOR (1) ran sixth last start at Cranbourne over 1609m, beaten 14 metres. Expected to run well. MY LUCKY ROCK (2) last appeared when fifth over 1720m at Melton 14 months ago. Look out for any positive market movement. GO GEORGE GO (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 2080m at Cranbourne last time out. Include in exotic bets.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at Cranbourne was 6th-10.4 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Dot Ball (1:59.60) on August 2 at $14. The run prior failed to finish when he ran at Ballarat on July 29 over 2200m. Draws the pegs and can bounce back.

Resuming after a spell of 14 months. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 4 m finishing fifth after showing early speed, behind Very Tempting at Melton over 1720m on July 25 2025 at $6.50. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.

Last start 4th (Fr2) over 2080m after showing early pace at Cranbourne was leading by 1.2 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Powerlinc (2:35.70) on September 6 at $23. At the run before surrendered the lead and finished 10th (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early pace at Shepparton, beaten 25 m by Tommys Lookout (2:03.60) on August 25 at $71. One to consider as his best is good enough.

Didn't do much last start, 10th (Fr1) over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten 35 m by Wheres Wood Wood (2:04.20) on September 15 at $151. Before that 9th (Fr1) over 1690m at Shepparton was 9th-15.38 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Final Bow (2:05.30) on August 25 at $151. Hard to have on those efforts.

Didn't do much at the last run, 10th (Fr5) over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 24 m by Esperanza (2:06.30) on September 3 at $34. Before that 5th (Fr2) over 1720m at Melton, at the bell was 8th-14.25 beaten 7 m by Allheartnoheight (2:05.50) on August 12 at $12. This looks far too tough.
