Charles Town Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
POLICY CHANGE (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1308m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. KEEN TALENT (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 6 lengths when sixth in a 1710m contest at Turfway Park seven weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SCAR NOSE (6) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on six consecutive occasions, before finishing fifth last time out over 1408m at this track. Yet to win this track and distance but has recorded four minor placings from five attempts. One to consider. MARKET WATCH (3) has switched yards since finishing seventh four weeks ago over 1408m at Keeneland. Worth plenty of thought.

Comes off a 50 day let-up. Most recently got back early 6th of 10 at Turfway Park on March 20 over 1710m, 6 len behind Hyperbolize with 57kg at $6.30. The run before that 4th of 9 at Turfway Park on February 20 over 1207m, 7 len behind Ryu Mo carrying 56.5kg at $4.85. Could easily blow them away in the dying stages.
