The son of Zambora Brockie made the drop back to the 307 metre distance for his latest attempt and he showed his sprinting prowess in a comfortable win, claiming victory as a $2.30 favourite over Darren Wort's duo Vivy Vida and ($5) and Durama Dancer ($4.80).
A great start proved the difference for Brockie's Charm as he bolted clear from gate three and gave the field something to chase from the very first couple of strides.
Wicks said his runner looked very comfortable making the drop back down in distance after resting for a few weeks.
"We tried here over the 450m but he kept drawing wide boxes and getting belted around so we freshened him up and put him back in a short one," he said.
"I'll keep him going around in these free-for-all races here and see how he goes."
Brockie's Charm shot out to an early lead in Monday's race and built up an early two length lead before hitting the turn.
Vivy Vida got away well from box four and was pushed along by O'Lonnie who had come across from out wide.
O'Lonnie drifted on the turn for home and took out the surging Two Opals, allowing Durama Dancer to leap into third along the rail.
Vivy Vida never lost touch with Brockie's Charm but the favourite was never going to let the lead fall from his grasp as he won by two lengths.
Brockie's Charm was Wicks' only runner across the entire meeting and his greyhound made the trip count.
The winning time was 17.86 seconds, shy of his 17.60 personal best.
The spoils were all shared around at Kennerson Park.
The 11 races in Monday's Bathurst meeting were taken out by 11 different trainers.
