Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
STETTIE HAYESEN (3) is close to a win at the fourth run back from a spell, the latest effort a third over 905m at this track (Dirt). Denis Vicente Araujo has been in the money at the last three rides. Leading contender. PEDRO'S FANCY MAN (6) should be peaking now after finishing second over 905m at this track (Dirt) last time at the third run of the campaign. Sunday Jr Diaz has registered two minor placings when on board. Best form puts him right in this. A NOTABLE NATURE (7) finished second last time over 905m at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. AJAX THE GREAT (1) is a nicely bred two-year-old gelding lining up for the first time. By Greatest Honour from Darting who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Has fared well at the barrier draw and should play a big role.
