Charlton Race 7 - High Tea At The Charlton Trots Pace
MISSMALACHITE (4) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at Ballarat over 1710m. Her recent form is good enough to put her right in the finish. SKADI (2) finished sixth last start over 2240m at Swan Hill, beaten 15 metres, after a good second at Horsham the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. ZEUSS (5) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Shepparton over 2190m. LESTER (9) ended last prep with a third at Bendigo over 2150m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Tooram Danny at Swan Hill over 2240m on October 15 at $41.

Hard to go past on best form.

Fair run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind The Ladybird at Horsham over 1700m on October 5 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Riddlemethis at Ballarat over 1710m on October 15 at $6. Leading contender.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Magic Bullseye at Shepparton over 1690m on October 13 at $9. Then a handy effort when a close third after showing early speed, behind Olly Odd Potts at Shepparton over 2190m on October 28 at $13. Top chance in this line-up.
