Charles Town Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

SPIRIT AND TRUTH (4) started at $6.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. HOLY BRICK (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 6 lengths away in seventh over 1106m at Laurel Turf after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. SPATULA (5) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 905m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CAMELIA ROD (1) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold second, beaten one length, over today's journey at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage so expect a big run.
