Charles Town Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
PONEY ISLAND (1) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 1609m at Delaware Park Turf (Turf) on July 4. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. KARA M S (4) was in the firing line on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1207m at Colonial Downs after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. STARSHIP POLARIS (3) has recorded four minor placings from five runs this preparation. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when runner-up over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after she was always up in the leading division. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. JANE N MARGO (6) sat close to the pace last time out but faded to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt). Among the chances.

Genuine chance on the back of the last effort.
