Charlton Race 2 - Cricket Club Hotel Pace
OVER THE LINE (6) ran second last start at Swan Hill over 2240m, beaten 3.5 metres. Has the talent to take care of this field. FLEUR BELLA (1) settled in the leading division then took over the lead and maintained the advantage to take out a 2190m race at Mildura last start, adding to her fine third the run prior at Mildura. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Her last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. HAVADASH JOH (2) finished fourth two runs ago then broke and finished a distant last over 2190m at Maryborough at the latest appearance. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up so if he behaves a big run is likely. TEX GOES BANG (4) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at Shepparton over 2190m.

Last start 9th (Fr1) over 2190m at Maryborough well beaten by Torque In Heaven (2:43.10) on September 7 at $7. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr5) over 1680m at Terang was 9th-17.3 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Zwick (2:04.30) on August 30 at $9. Capable of a lot more.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr4) over 1750m at Swan Hill, at the bell was 5th-18.4 beaten 12 m by Cresco Threepeat (2:09.40) on September 8 at $14. Two runs back 5th (Fr1) over 1790m after showing early pace at Mildura, beaten 9 m by Celestial Nebulae (2:17.50) on August 28 at $4.33. This looks far too tough.

Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at Shepparton (2:44.00) beating Betathanaboughtone in on September 15 at $7 at the bell was 2nd-2.14. In fine form and looks a serious player again.

Last start 7th (Fr6) over 1710m after showing early pace at Ballarat, at the bell was 5th-7.64 beaten 11 m by Viva Storm (2:05.40) on August 26 at $14. At the run before good run when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 30 m by Break My Art (1:54.80) on August 14 at $6. Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, behind Huxham Chubb at this track over 2100m in a M on August 17 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Chainsmoke at Swan Hill over 2240m on September 8 at $6. Finds a nice race and should feature.
