Community Clubs Challenge Final (300+)

Stake: $3,696

COMEBACK CHARLIE (3) did a good job to finish third last time out over 400m at this track (23.03) in a Mix 6/7 H, the second top-three finish on the trot. Well placed here and should do much better. WINNING RATIO (1) ran above expectations to claim maiden two back then finished third last start and beaten 2 lengths at this track over 400m (22.99). Maiden this journey but has some solid runs behind him. Can feature again this time. JUMBUK QUEEN (2) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Won two starts back over 460m at Warragul. Last start he finished 3rd in a Mix 6/7 H on April 1 over 400m at this track behind Jumbuk Punky beaten 2 lengths (22.99). Draw likely to suit. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 22.86. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 390m at Shepparton at Grade 5 level. Is a danger.
