Charlton Race 3 - Welcome Probus Members - Celebrating 50 Years Pace
ESPERANZA (7) scored at Kilmore three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when second over 2180m at Stawell, beaten 1.3 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and she can give this a mighty shake. ELLI JOH (8) had a win at Hamilton two runs ago before having her colours lowered at her latest appearance over 1609m at Cranbourne, beaten 18 metres. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Leading hope if she is at her best. SHEZABLUECHIP (1) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Melton over 1720m. SKADI (6) is worth some thought based on her victory over 2240m at Swan Hill two runs ago.

Last start 8th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early pace at Melton was 3rd-3.51 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Queenhigh Flush (2:07.40) on September 9 at $6. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 2180m after showing early speed at Kilmore, beaten 4 m by Tophut Johny (2:44.30) on September 3 at $13. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Rates highly and can do much better.

Last start was well beaten into second after a quick start, behind Justlikedave at Cranbourne over 1609m on September 13 at $34. Performed better the start before where she raced just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 5 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Hamilton (2:01.00) beating Missmalachite in on August 10 at $2.90 at the bell was 2nd-2.8. Among the leading chances and can overcome the tricky draw.
