Charles Town Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

SHEA D WORLD (7) finished second over 905m at this track (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two back. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. DISCREET DEVIL (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 10 lengths when fifth in a 1006m contest at Delaware Park two-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. TALKIN PHAROAH (2) was popular when resuming last start over 905m at this track (Dirt) but finished fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Unbeaten in three starts when second up. Leading chance on best form. SUTTON VALLEY (1) improved last start to finish third over 905m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.

Second run back. First-up after five months ran second last in a small field at this track on July 30 over 905m, 8 len behind Larz with 56kg at $2.50. Previously second-up won by 2 len at this track on May 8 2025 over 905m defeating Time To Rock with 54.5kg at $1.80. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.
