Charles Town Race 12 - Frank Gall Memorial S. Stakes

TEACHINTHERELEASE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 4.5 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. SPOTAFREEONE (5) is a distance specialist who finished fifth two runs back in stakes class at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths as favourite after being in contention on the turn over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can go back-to-back. RAY OF SUNSHINE (2) just missed last time when 0.3 lengths away in second at this track (Dirt) over 1308m. Winning chance. JUBAWITHATWIST (7) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for second. Has a good record here at this journey with five wins and three minor placings from 10 starts. Not to be discounted.
