Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
SOKOTA (3) was a most impressive maiden winner over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time out, scoring by 8 lengths. Looms as one of the hardest to beat again. FORTUNATE SON (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. TOODLESWASMYNAME (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fifth over 1308m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. POWERED BY LOVE (6) has switched yards since finishing second four weeks ago over 1308m at this track. Well-placed and is among the chances.

Comes here off a 51-day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 8 at this track on March 4 over 1308m, 10 len behind Thank Ya Pete with 57kg at $4.90. The start before that won by 2.75 len at this track February 12 over 1308m defeating Fortunate Son with 57kg at $4.30. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.

Last start 4th of 8 at this track on April 2 over 1308m, 5 len behind Noid carrying 55.5kg at $28.90. The run before that second last in a small field at this track on March 5 over 1408m, 9 len behind Jack's Aloha carrying 56kg at $15.90. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 41 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 8 len at this track March 14 over 1308m defeating Scar Nose with 54kg at $1.40. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Fairgrounds on February 21 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Urban Ruler carrying 56.5kg at $2.20. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
