Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
HIGHLY POTENT (1) hasn't been far away since a maiden win five runs back, the latest effort a second over 1308m at this track (Dirt) on January 2. Great chance to break through. RACING HOT LINE (8) missed the placings two runs back then was always well out of his ground last start when 5 lengths away in fifth over 1408m at this track. Has the ability to take care of this field. SHARPASADIAMOND (10) made late ground and finished 4 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1308m at this track, an improvement on his sixth at this track the run before. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. GRANDPA JOE (2) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again.
