Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
MASTERWORK (7) doesn't win out of turn but was in the finish last time when beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Juan Mauricio Nunez stays aboard. Bold showing expected. PIQUANT (1) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Michael E Jones Jnr yard. Hasn't raced since finishing fourth at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) ten weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Expected to be in the finish. MR SANDMAN (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 6 lengths at this course and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. MO JOKE (3) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1710m at this track, beaten 4 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Last start raced on the pace when 3rd of 7 at this track on January 9 over 1408m, 11 len behind Ray's Blue Wagon carrying 55kg at $9.20. The race before that 3rd of 10 at this track on December 6 over 1308m, 4.5 len behind Trainer Please carrying 57kg at $33.20. Would rather see in something easier.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 37-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 8 at this track on January 8 over 1710m, 4 len behind Blameitonthefun with 54kg at $6.10. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at this track December 6 over 1308m defeating Nay's Only One with 54kg at $2.90. Going well. Leading chance.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Freshened for 58 days. First-up of 7 at Gulfstream Park on November 23 over 1207m, 26 len behind Beach Colt with 55kg at $56. Last start ran last in a small field at Gulfstream Park on December 18 over 1408m, 27 len behind Tshiebwe carrying 51kg at $23.50. Doesn't pose too much of a threat.

Second run back. First-up after four months won by 6 len at this track January 17 over 1308m defeating Subject To Change carrying 57kg at $4.80. Previously second-up 4th in a small field at Penn National on July 30 over 1207m, 6 len behind Neon Sign with 56.5kg at $7.80. Great chance to make it two in a row. Improver with winning prospects.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 7 at this track on January 9 over 1408m, 16 len behind Ray's Blue Wagon with 57kg at $10.60. Before that second last of 7 at this track on December 6 over 1308m, 18 len behind Thank Ya Pete with 57kg at $22.60. Can do a lot better than that last run.
