CHARLES DICKENS STAKES 1000m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 29) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Fast pace assured with Just Carter, Roskilde and Sweet Green leading the charge. CHAMPAGNE CASTLE (10) is a promising type racing well, including an all the way win last time and scoring with a bit in hand. Looks the one to run down again. SWEET GREEN (2) raced on speed on debut and just missed. Improver who can get off the mark this time. CATWALK KING (5) wasn't far away on debut then raced handy last time and lifted strongly to score. Has upside and sure to go well. WORLD SERIES (12) is facing the starter for the first time. By One World and comes from the Vaughan Marshall stable. Watch the market closely.
