SELECTIONS: CHARLESTON AVENUE (11), KENNYS SON (4), ALDEBARAN SUE (10), WAIKARE ADRIENNA (1)

OVERVIEW: CHARLESTON AVENUE (11) has a horror draw here over the 1720m trip, but this horse is flying and was the run of the race in an event five of these horses contested last weekend won by RAPID RETURN (1) from behind the leader, TIMMY TURTLE (8). CHARLESTON AVENUE (11) drew gate seven there, went back along the fence, got clear in the straight and charged into fourth to be beaten just 4.2m. The prior win at Maryborough was huge from outside the leader, and he just needs some tempo on up top to be giving this a real shake. KENNYS SON (4) is shooting for three on the trot after good victories at Melton and Maryborough and appears a chance of finding the top, ALDEBARAN SUE (10) backed up some good form with a barnstorming last-to-first victory last Saturday at HQ and is right in the zone, while WAIKARE ADRIENNA (1) creeps up in grade but has also won her past two in good style and draws for a lovely trip on the fence.

BACK: CHARLESTON AVENUE (11) – 1 unit (each-way)
