Charles Town Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
LAUGHINTOTHEBANK (3) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 1.3 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is right in contention. DIVINE ROMANCE (4) returned from a spell a month ago when she was beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 1408m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. SEVEN NATTY PATTY (9) was on the speed from the rails draw last start and battled on well to finish second over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Hard to beat in this suitable race. RARE RUBY (7) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1308m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 2.25 lengths. Big chance to break through.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 42-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 10 at this track on May 2 over 1408m, 5 len behind Corri Felice carrying 57kg at $9. The run before that won by 0.8 len at this track March 21 over 1408m defeating Still Grumpy with 57kg at $7.30. Nice draw and worth thought.

Comes off a 44 day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at this track April 30 over 1408m defeating Lovely Odds with 57kg at $6. Before that 3rd in a small field at this track on March 21 over 1408m, 1.0 len behind Look Ahead carrying 57kg at $8.90. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.

Second-up. First-up after three months 4th of 7 at this track on May 14 over 1408m, 8 len behind Fine Whining with 56kg at $6.20. Previously second-up 4th in a small field at Penn National on February 20 2025 over 1106m, 7 len behind Ambitiously Placed carrying 55kg at $24.90. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
