Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

CANDIED UP (1) scored by 1.75 lengths over this distance at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has a strong record this course, scoring at two of four starts. Best form puts him right in this. THIS IS THE LIFE (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.25 lengths when fourth over 905m at this track six weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. SUPER KICK (2) was in the firing line on the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 905m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. TITANIO (7) was beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 905m at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
