Charles Town Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

RAY OF SUNSHINE (1) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 1.3 lengths over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has four wins here. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. ZACHAMUNDO (3) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when he scored by 3 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has a strong record at the trip and is expected to run well again. VEX (2) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. DIRECT APPEAL (4) finished 5 lengths behind the winner in second over 1710m at this track (Dirt) last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Not to be discounted.
