Charlton Race 1

Josie Harvey Memorial / Vhrc - Woodlands Stud Pace

Stake: $4,320

BLUE OCEAN (7) settled close to the pace and finished well but could only manage second last start over 2190m at Shepparton, that effort coming on the back of a sound third at Maryborough the run before. Must overcome a very wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can give this a mighty shake. MALAVA MISS (6) found a spot near the tail of the field off the wide starting position on the front line last start and never posed a threat when sixth over 2190m at Shepparton. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back to form. IFYOULOVEMELETMEGO (3) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1650m at Bendigo a week-and-a-half ago. FAKE CULLECTION (5) disappointed last time when sixth over 1690m at Shepparton. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 1720m after being wide early at Melton, at the bell was 8th-17.09 beaten 12 m by Allheartnoheight (2:06.80) in NR up to 36 on May 9 at $6.50. Before that was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2190m at Maryborough, well beaten by Fake Cullection (2:46.00) in NR up to 36 on April 2 at $7. This looks far too tough.

Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1650m after showing early pace at Bendigo, at the bell was 5th-8.12 beaten 6 m by Heavens Gift (1:59.90) in 4yo+ 0-4 WINS on May 21 at $81.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Kimchi at Maryborough over 2190m in a NR up to 37 on May 21 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Joeys Hangover at Shepparton over 2190m in a NR up to 38 on May 27 at $9. Looks very hard to beat.
