Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance

PLEASENTHANKU (1) resumes from a spell of four months that came after he recorded two straight wins to close last campaign. Winning jockey from last prep stays aboard. Top chance. DEMBE ZUMA (3) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 3.5 lengths win over 1106m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) last time. Should be prominent again and is likely to play a major role. SUPER PUNCHER (2) went fast early over 1006m at Mountaineer Park (Turf) last time and defied all challengers to score by 2.5 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. DADSNUMBRONEHELPR (7) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp.
