Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
MO JOKE (8) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing sixth over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last start. Deserves another chance. GERICAULT (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 17 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1710m at this track. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. CUCHULAIN (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. SAPPHIRE PRINCE (3) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with one length to spare over 1207m at Penn National (Dirt). Has been in sound form this prep with a win and three minor placings from six outings. Not to be discounted.
