Charles Town Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
OLEG (1) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track (Dirt), most recently beaten 4.5 lengths into second over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. HAPPY JAUNT (8) was having his first run for the Timothy Shanley stable last start when he made steady ground to run into second over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Can go one better. MOTSKARI (5) last appeared three weeks ago over 1710m at this track when he finished seventh. This is his first run for the Carlos Montilla stable. Worth plenty of thought. SHEA D WORLD (2) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 1308m, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be thereabouts.
