Charles Town Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
HALA BLUE (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 905m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AZTEC MELODY (3) settled towards the rear and failed to threaten in the straight last start when seventh, beaten 16 lengths, over this course and distance. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is likely to play a big role. REMY'S HOTSHOT (2) resumes in a similar race to her last run 11 months ago when seventh, beaten 7 lengths. Has found the right race and is worth including. SWEET MANHATTAN (1) was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 905m at this track at her latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.

Comes here off a 41-day let-up. Last start ran last in a small field at this track on March 27 over 905m, 10 len behind Crafty Windsor Cat carrying 52.5kg at $24.20. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at this track on February 11 over 905m, 8 len behind Talented Lord carrying 56kg at $11.60. This looks too tough.
