Charles Town Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming

HAMDOUN (4) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when second over 1408m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Yet to miss the frame in four starts over this course and distance. Likely improver with strong prospects. JOHNNY LIES (6) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 1.75 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start over 905m at this track (Dirt). Should run on into the finish again. HIDDEN FAVOR (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1408m at this track, beaten 14 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to take this out. SPEEDY SAMMY (8) showed good early speed over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by 3 lengths. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and four minor placings from eight starts. Not to be discounted.

Recent form sound. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on July 2 over 1408m, 7 len behind Sailor Sam with 54.5kg at $8.10. Before that won by 1.3 len at this track June 13 over 1308m defeating Jaker carrying 53.5kg at $6.90. Best form should see him measure right up.

Racing well recently. At the latest run scored a big 3 len win at this track July 3 over 1308m defeating Baby Bobby carrying 50.5kg at $2.10. The race before that 4th of 10 at this track on June 13 over 1308m, 4 len behind Hamdoun with 50.5kg at $4.30. Scored a maiden win last time and is worth thought again.
