Charles Town Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming

SHEA D WORLD (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 905m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PALM ISLAND (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 905m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. SMOOTH RICO (1) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1408m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. TAKE YOUR TIME (8) sat close to the pace last time out but faded to finish sixth, beaten 7 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt). Jahnxander Raspaldo has registered two minor placings when on board. Best figures stack up.
