Sportsbet Green Tick (1-6 Wins) Ht1

Stake: $4,570

CHARLESTOWN (8) boasts a strong record this journey with five wins and three minors from 11 tries. Scored by 5 lengths last time (34.62) in a Grade 5 over 600m at this track. Expected to be in the finish. DARK MIRACLE (1) drifted back from the inside but sliced through to hit the frame when a 4 length second (34.91) at this track in R/A FIN. Leading chance. KING RON (3) turned in a moderate performance last time when seventh at Warrnambool over 450m behind Paw Tabitha (25.78) in a Grade 4/5. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from four starts. Has ability and is one of the better chances. URANA PARALLAX (4) can measure up with the right run.

Ran a better race when second behind Mepunga Zircon at this track last start over 600m (34.91). Made up good ground from the back and will be strong late again. Has to be included.
