Verdict

CHARLIES TACTICS (7) is very consistent having placed in all five starts since a debut win. Produced another strong performance last start when he raced parked but battled on bravely for second at Kilmore. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but can win with even luck. HILLSIDE (6) resumes from a spell of a year after closing off last campaign with back-to-back placings. Should be ready to go after three trials, winning the last two. EL BRAVO (10) won two of three starts last time in and while drawn awkwardly he should be ready to run a big race first-up from a spell following four trials, winning the latest. WALLIS (3) came from wider to win last start at Kilmore so should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.
