Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
SARONIC BAY (1) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just 0.3 lengths away in second over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Likely improver with strong prospects. STOLEN SECRETS (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 5 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job. MODEST KAY (3) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track (Dirt) over 905m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Big chance to score. EMILY KATHERINE (4) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on December 5, finishing fourth and beaten 13 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Comes here with definite top-three claims.
