Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

AIM FOR THE CORK (5) has switched yards since scoring by 0.8 lengths at this track over 905m on November 29. Expected to feature on best form. DADSNUMBRONEHELPR (3) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 905m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. STINGRAY SHUFFLE (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 10 lengths away in fifth over 1408m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. ROCKET SCIENCE (1) last appeared seven weeks ago over 1308m at this track when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the William E Straughn stable.
