Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

CANDIED UP (2) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 905m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. TUP'S TO TAKE (5) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 7 lengths back in fourth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Rates highly and expected to go well. MAGICAL SURPRISE (3) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 905m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. GEORGE (6) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 905m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.

The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Mountaineer Park on July 22 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Shotgun Margaret carrying 56kg at $18.90.
