Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

ATLAS STRONG (2) lines up for the first time since June 2. Looking to emulate her win at Laurel when returning from a spell last prep. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from three runs. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. SMOKED PEACH (4) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by 0.3 lengths over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Moises Santaella has been the pilot at her last two wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. CLOSE UP (3) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing second over 1408m at this track, beaten 0.1 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. RARE RUBY (1) has accrued five minor placings from seven runs this preparation. Continued the trend last start when runner-up over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
