Charles Town Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

RED DAWN COMING (1) could only manage seventh when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1408m at this track, beaten only 0.1 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. LEGENDARY SKY (4) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1308m at this track, beaten only half a length after being in the firing line on the corner. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. DIRECT TO HEAVEN (3) saluted at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when third over 1308m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. TAP THE ARCHES (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them.
