Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
THE COMMACK KID (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 19 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. SPURIOUS (4) was unplaced on turf over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf two back then again couldn't find the top-three on the same surface last time out, finishing seventh over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf. Strong contender back on the dirt. Can atone. EL RABANO (6) did little and finished 15 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1646m at Tampa Bay Downs last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at Tampa Bay Downs the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. AXEL FOLEY (2) is a three-year-old gelding facing the starter for the first time. From a strong family that has produced at black type level, being by Mitole from Miselly. Importantly has a nice gate and is certainly worth considering.
