AU2 - Charlton - Race 5

TO THE NINES (12) finished fifth at Boort two runs back then performed impressively at the most recent appearance, making up plenty of ground but just missing out over 1 5/16m at Birchip. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. This doesn't look as hard so he is in the right race to find the winners' list. HEATSEEKER (1) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 14 metres into ninth at Ballarat over 1 ¹/16m. Has the benefit of a far better draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. WICKED WIZARD (11) is open to further improvement at the third run back from a break after scoring last time out over 1 ¹/16m at Riverina Paceway. Likely to be around the mark again. FAIR CHANCE (6) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 1 5/16m at Birchip.
