Charles Town Race 11 - Charles Town Classic S. Stakes

SKIPPYLONGSTOCKING (4) finished a 12 length seventh when resuming last start over 1811m in the G1 Whitney Handicap at Saratoga (Dirt). Has a very strong second up record. Likely improver. BANISHING (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.1 lengths over 1308m in Listed grade at Ellis Park (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with six wins and five minor placings from 13 outings. Sure to go well again. KOMOREBINO OMOIDE (5) hit the frame with a half a length second on turf at Lone Star Park two starts back. Disappointed last time though, again on the turf, at Ellis Park over 1609m when 2.25 lengths from the winner in sixth. Ramon A Vazquez who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Certainly one to consider. WILLY D'S (7) comes here following a win over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis seven weeks ago, getting home by 4.5 lengths. One of the leading contenders.

Comes here off a 48-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Prairie Meadows in the G3 Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Handicap on July 5 over 1811m, 0.5 len behind Cornishman with 52.5kg at $1.60. Before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Churchill Downs May 17 over 1811m defeating Willy D's with 55.5kg at $4.50. Will not find this easy.
