In a wide-open affair to close the card Char Char’s form is hard to ignore. The horse might get a wide alley to jump from but it has three wins and a second placing from four runs this preparation. Char Char has been progressing well and will be a major player.
Race 9 tip: Char Char to win ($14 at Neds)
