Charles Town Race 8 - Confucius Say S. Stakes
PASCALINE (10) lines up for the first time since November 29. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1408m at Aqueduct. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. SPOTAFREEONE (5) got the job done when resuming last start at this track (Dirt) over 1308m after he was in the firing line on the bend. Has a very strong record at this journey, scoring on three occasions from four starts. Arnaldo Bocachica who has scored on him six times retains the mount. Bold showing expected. XCELLENT START (1) finished fifth last time out over 1911m at Laurel, beaten 9 lengths. Has a sound record here with eight wins and 10 minor placings from 36 starts. One of the contenders. RAY OF SUNSHINE (6) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it three wins from four starts this campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Not to be discounted.

Second-up. First-up after four months favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track May 15 over 1308m defeating Mr Dumbledore carrying 57kg at $2.20. Previously second-up eased back early on 7th of 9 at Laurel in LR on November 29 over 1408m, 5 len behind Zero Blitz carrying 54.5kg at $6.70. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at this track on May 15 over 1710m, 9 len behind Indy Magic carrying 56kg at $6.10. The run before that eased back early on 4th in a small field at this track on April 24 over 1408m, 7 len behind Ray Of Sunshine with 57kg at $16.90. Won't be beating too many of these home.
