Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
JOHNNY LIES (8) finished fifth over 1408m at this track (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on February 21. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. TICKET TO PARADISE (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth last start after being in contention on the corner over 905m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MARTIN'S MO TOM (2) won his maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 0.1 lengths. Winning rider J Stokes sticks and he is a solid top-three hope. SUPER LINO (5) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a second over 905m at this track. Expected to run well.
