Charles Town Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming

SOPHISTRY (2) hit the frame two starts ago at Colonial Downs Turf but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 6 lengths over 1006m at Meadowlands (Turf). Will enjoy a drop in class so she is likely to play a big role. ECHO SEVEN (5) was comfortably accounted for when second last time out over 905m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has a good record at this course and distance, including five wins. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. FORGOTTEN GIFT (4) missed the placings two runs back then got a long way back last start when 11 lengths away in seventh over 905m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. JULITA (3) finished third last start over 905m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4.5 lengths. Nicely placed to go a couple better.

Last start ran second last of 9 at Meadowlands on October 2 over 1006m, 6 len behind Peony with 56kg at $12.40. The run before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 7 at Colonial Downs Turf on September 6 over 1106m, 0.5 len behind Wonder Girl carrying 55.5kg at $6.10. Capable of more – worth another chance.

Before that won by 2.75 len at this track on September 11 over 905m defeating Here's A Quarter with 54kg at $1.50. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.

Last start 5th of 7 at this track on October 2 over 905m, 8 len behind Delightful Dixie with 55.5kg at $12.50. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.3 len at this track on September 11 over 905m defeating Holy Coffee carrying 57kg at $1.50. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
