Donald Race 7 - Wimmera Barrier Attendants Hcp (Bm56)
CHARLECOTE MILL (7) finished second at Hamilton two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1600m at Warracknabeal, finishing 4 lengths back in eighth. She looked a horse of some talent earlier in the year and while she is struggling to rediscover that form, this looks well within her grasp. THOUGHTFUL (2) finished third two runs back at Hamilton then improved last time out to score by a neck over 1600m at Warracknabeal. Tom Madden scored on him last time and retains the mount, which looks a plus. TUDAYA (6) has been up for a while but is generally around the mark in this company. WHISTLER GIRL (10) has run improved races at her past two and is worthy of consideration again.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck in a 0 - 56 at Warracknabeal on August 15 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Bruzani with 58kg at $8.50. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 in a 0 - 56 at Hamilton on August 1 over 1400m, on rain affected going; nose behind Unamerican carrying 58kg at $4.40. Well placed. Back in form and can go on with it.

Last start 7th of 13 in a Bm56 at Mildura on September 5 over 1408m, on a slow track; 7 len behind The Cable Guy with 56kg at $17. Before that raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 10 in a Bm56 at Murtoa on August 21 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Bancoora with 57kg at $16. Safely held last time out but this suits and drawn well.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign eighth of 10 at this track Bm56 July 11 over 2218m, soft track; 7 len behind Adjudicate carrying 59.5kg at $16. Previous preparation first-up won by nose Horsham Mdn-Sw April 27 over 1800m defeating Durham with 59.5kg at $11. Drawn well, but no public trials so prefer to see how he returns.

Before that ran last of 10 in a Bm66 at Ballarat Synthetic on July 14 over 2100m, 17 len behind Dundonald with 54kg at $101. Likely to struggle again despite the favourable alley.
