Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

AUTHENTIC APPEAL (9) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 3 lengths win over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has been in sound form this prep with three wins from five starts. Best form puts her right in this. UNICYCLE (10) was thereabouts last time out when sixth over 1207m at Delaware Park (Dirt) after she was well back on straightening. Record at this trip excellent. Likely to play a major role. FITNESS (6) settled well back last start and never threatened when 20 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1609m at Laurel (Dirt). Has the ability to put the recent poor run behind her. CLOSE UP (8) raced on the pace over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to win by 3.5 lengths. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Solid claims.
