Charles Town Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

WHITE SERIES (3) finished 14 lengths adrift in seventh last time at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the turn in a disappointing performance. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. VALHALLA'S PALACE (7) fought on for second last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Will need a good ride from Alexis Espinoza off the awkward draw. Has the ability to take this out. RIDICULOUS (5) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 26 lengths when fifth over 1710m at this track a week ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. MON GATEAU (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1408m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Capable of featuring prominently.
