Charles Town Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

HURRICANE ALERT (3) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1308m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds the right race this time and can rediscover winning form. VALHALLA'S PALACE (1) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.5 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1408m at this track. Jahnxander Raspaldo stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Should be hard to stop. BOLD DESERT (5) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage seventh over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Rates highly on best figures - can do much better. LOVE IS WICKED (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at this track, beaten 14 lengths into eighth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
