Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
SOKOTA (3) accounted for a maiden field over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last start, finishing 8 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Re-unites with Warren Iii Ebow who was on board last start. Progressing well so worth following up. YORK TAVERN (1) finds it hard to win with just one success from 32 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1308m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role. RAGTIME SCRIBBLE (7) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1408m at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back. Should be peaking now and will be tough to beat. PARAMOUNT'S PICK (6) turned in another moderate effort last start when 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1308m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len at this track March 26 over 905m defeating Warrior's Notion with 55.5kg at $2.40. Second-up didn't finish the race at this track April 11 over 905m. Others are much more appealing.
