Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight

STANDARD DEDUCTION (7) did well last time to finish second over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. In the money at each of his runs over this longer journey. Finds the ideal assignment. HILL COUNTRY (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DARE DEFYING (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Colonial Downs, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. SAINT SHANCE (3) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Colonial Downs on August 20 over 1609m, 7 len behind Bad Boy Butch carrying 53.5kg at $5.50. The start before that 4th of 11 at Colonial Downs on August 8 over 1207m, 13 len behind Diamond Knife carrying 54kg at $6.30. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.

Was at big odds at debut, ran second last of 10 at this track on August 29 over 1308m, 21 len behind Zaptastic with 57kg at $27.30. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on August 29 over 1308m, 3 len behind Zaptastic with 57kg at $1.30. The race before that settled back and ran on when 5th of 8 at Colonial Downs on August 20 over 1308m, 8 len behind Crevalli carrying 56kg at $12.70. Among the winning chances.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 10 at this track on August 29 over 1308m, 22 len behind Zaptastic with 57kg at $67.50. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at this track on August 20 over 1408m, 4 len behind Municipal carrying 52.5kg at $4. The race before that ran second last in a small field at Penn National on July 22 over 1673m, 2.75 len behind Tims carrying 55.5kg at $3.40. Nice effort last time. Can go on with the job now.
