Charlton, Monday 19 August

Form Analysis by Rob Auber

Race 1:

 

OVERVIEW: FREE TO PLAY (2) promising filly that was runner up behind two high quality pacers as a 2yo and will find this a much easier assignment. Clearly the one to beat. INTO THE HARKNESS (3) she’s been close to winning a race but bumps into a smart one here. Definite place chance. JILLIBY SORRENTO (4) was well supported when at his race debut and performed below market expectation. Astute stable and can make amends here and worthy of another chance. MAJOR FANTASY (1) nicely bred filly that draws well and will enjoy a good trip here and expect a forward showing. WATCHING OVER US (5) CROCODILE BLOOD (6) ICE QUEEN (7) are amongst the first four hopes.

 

EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3

SELECTIONS: FREE TO PLAY (2) INTO THE HARKNESS (3) JILLIBY SORRENTO (4) MAJOR FANTASY (1)

RATINGS: 2/ 3/ 4/ 1/ 5/ 6/ 7

SUGGESTED BET: FREE TO PLAY (2) to Win.

 

Race 2:

 

OVERVIEW: DOOR SLAMMER (5) hasn’t been too far away and both race starts but has shown good speed. Fitter and with the race experience can fight out the finish. ULTIMATE TESS (8) finished off well last start and has been placed at four of seven starts to date. One of the chances. The Brent Lilley runners PATRICKS CHARM (3) and SUNNYCOAST SECRET (2) are sure to be improved by their race experiences and can continue to improve. GREAT HORIZON (4) resumes here and will have benefited from last season’s campaign and can run well fresh whilst CAITHNESS LADY (1) BET BET HOTSHOT (6) and MOONSHINE TERROR (7) have claims.

 

EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,4,5

SELECTIONS: DOOR SLAMMER (5) ULTIMATE TESS (8) PATRICKS CHARM (3) SUNNYCOAST SECRET (2)

SUGGESTED BET: DOOR SLAMMER (5) to Win.

 

Race 3:

 

OVERVIEW: CHARLIE WALKER (7) can be a hard horse to catch on his best day however his best form is good enough to be fighting out the finish in this. Take on trust. ALFIE ALWAYS (9) has been racing below his best but strikes a very suitable race to find some good form. Gets another chance here. MANDA KYVALLEY (8) broke through for her second win last start having teased for a while. She might continue her winning way. ARISTOTLE (6) not disgraced first up and strips fitter here. Capable and not out of this. UNSPOKEN LOVE (1) has been thereabouts without threatening. Has claims here. ATABOY CHARLIE (10) freshened up and can run well whilst TENSION SEEKER (2) PLAYA DEL CARMEN (3) ALDEBARAN BRUTUS (4) and MADGE EGAN (5) are amongst the place and first four hopes.

Race 4:

 

OVERVIEW: KIMCHI (2) strong effort to win last start and draws well here. Looks hard to beat. ICANMOTOR (4) won well last start and though this is slightly harder can threaten again. BEAU BRONSKI (5) disappointed last start but prior form was solid for this. One of the chances. IRISHMURPHY (1) veteran that draws well and was a last start winner and will get every chance. SASSCILIAN (9) drawn to get a soft trip and if the breaks go his way he can figure along with HANOVER JACK (10) SALSBOY (11) and RONZEL SONNY (7) will be running home late. Both CRAFTY OLD FOX (6) and PEPPERCORN BARRY (3) can race handy and should be prominent.

Race 5:

 

OVERVIEW: BIZZNESS CLASS (6) has been racing well at metro level and looks well placed to race handy and should be in the finish. KISS (8) nice filly with good ability but faces a tricky draw. If the breaks go her way, she can win! ROYAL DIVISION (9) smart type that will strip fitter here and keep progressing. Definite threat. MARTY THE MARTIAN (5) saluted last start having enjoyed a good trip. Harder here and faces a wider draw. Must be respected. RIMU VALLEY (2) does have the early speed to race handy and can be in this for a long way. BLUE CANNON (1) drawn to get a soft trip and will get every chance. TALLARAS SHADOW (10) big effort to win last start coming from a mile back and will be storming home late again. MAJOR MAL (4) is never far away and can’t be dismissed.

Race 6:

 

OVERVIEW: OVER THE LINE (4) drawn to race on the speed and has run some good race when out in the lead. Might take some catching in this. OPTIMAL (9) lightly raced pacer that has been in good form and expect a big finish in this. NOOSA BOY (1) going well and providing he can make the most of the pole position he can give a big sight. Both BETTER SAINT (10) and GERRALE (5) have big finishing bursts and must be respected along with CALEDONIAN RANGER (6) and YANKEE GAMBLER (7) have wide draws to contend with.

Race 7:

 

OVERVIEW: IAMAWINGATE (9) better suited from the second row draw and does possess a strong finish. Expect him to be running on strongly.

REDBANK MOLLY (2) CALEDONIAN TERRA (3) FRAGMENTAL (4) HURRIKANE DUSTY (6) have front row draws to settle in handy positions and can be amongst them at the finish with suitable trips. Both FREMONT STREET (11) and MARKLEIGH CAZ (12) are working up to wins but have tough draws to overcome. Both will be running on strongly.

OVERVIEW: ADAPT (7) had been off the scene for a long period and returned with a first up win in Tasmania. Smart horse when right and will be hoping for back to back wins.
