Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
ZAPPING STRIKE (2) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Turfway Park, beaten 3.5 lengths into 11th after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a nice race and can get the job done. BALTIC (6) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1106m at Penn National (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MANSEEYASWAY (8) was prominent at the turn and finished third last time over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed to go a couple better. GOT THAT DRIP (3) is appearing for the first time. By Audible and is out of the Anthony Farrior stable. Worth watching for a betting push.
