Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
KNIGHT SAGE (10) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 905m at this track (Dirt). Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GOLDECK (7) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Among the leading chances on his best figures. PAY DA BABY (5) resumes from a spell of nine weeks and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 905m at this track (Dirt). Can pick up where he left off. Among the leading chances. MOONLIGHT CANDY (2) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to break through. Most recently finished ninth over 1408m at this track (Dirt), beaten 16 lengths. Cannot be dismissed.

Recent form sound. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at this track on August 13 over 905m, 0.1 len behind Bird And Magic with 55kg at $2.40. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track on July 30 over 905m, 2.25 len behind Mille Parole carrying 54.5kg at $4.70. Went close last time. Leading player again.

This Klimt gelding is a four-year-old having his first start. Might need the run.
