Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
SKIP FORWARD (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at Fairgrounds after being in the firing line on the corner. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. POLICY CHANGE (7) is yet to break through in 10 runs. Finished eighth at his last appearance over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) on March 25. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. SCAR NOSE (1) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 1710m, beaten 0.3 lengths. Has a decent record at this trip with four minor placings from six tries and should be involved in the finish. THE COMMACK KID (3) is struggling to break through, recording another minor placing last start when third over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Likely to run well again.

Racing well recently. Most recently in a small field at this track on March 28 over 1710m, 4.5 len behind Randy Said So with 57kg at $1.60. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track on February 21 over 1408m, 2 len behind Souper Vinnie carrying 57kg at $2.90. Among the winning hopes on best form.

Was well-supported at debut, raced on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Turfway Park on March 25 over 1308m, 4 len behind Paramount's Pick with 54.5kg at $3.59. Not likely to find this quite as easy as the debut outing.

Four-year-old colt by Justify out of Silky Serenade on debut. This looks a tricky race for him.
