Charles Town Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
LOVE IS WICKED (9) finished eighth over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two back. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to hold out. SHARPASADIAMOND (5) was an emphatic winner last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt) with today's rider Christian Maldonado engaged. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Leading contender. GOGOGETEM (2) is a distance specialist who missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1308m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. RACING HOT LINE (3) was below his best last time when eighth over 1408m at this track (Dirt), beaten 19 lengths. Has his share of talent and can do a lot better.

Returns from a 42-day let-up. Last start 4th of 9 at this track on April 30 over 1308m, 5 len behind River Warrior Rvf carrying 56kg at $23. The run before that ran last of 9 at this track on April 9 over 1408m, 9 len behind Musical Entourage with 57kg at $26. Capable of more – worth another chance.
