Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
CUPID'S CHOICE (8) pushed forward and led throughout to score a one length win over 1207m at Delaware Park (Dirt) last time. Has the speed to overcome the draw and should prove tough to beat. MYA PAPAYA (5) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1207m at Penn National, beaten 8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at Monmouth Park at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can rediscover winning form. HONOR HER (7) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather. Has switched to the Tyler S Shanley stable. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. KNICKOLETTA (1) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 905m at this track. Definite top-three chance.

Is first-up after a break of ten weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign fourth in a small field at Timonium August 28 over 805m, 6 len behind Last Gift with 55kg at $8.50. First up last campaign third in a small field at this track June 25 over 905m, 4 len behind Arditamente carrying 54.5kg at $3.40. Best form gives her a decent chance.

Comes off a 40 day let-up. Last start ran last of 7 at this track on September 26 over 905m, 7 len behind Arditamente with 54kg at $32. The start before that ran second last of 10 at this track on August 7 over 905m, 20 len behind Giuliana's Dream with 53kg at $52.10. Shouldn't trouble the top few.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming ran second last in a small field at this track on September 25 over 1408m, 26 len behind Equal Success carrying 53kg at $4.40. Second-up 3rd in a small field at this track on October 16 over 905m, 1.0 len behind Whatarewedoing with 55.5kg at $7.90. Can't make much of a case.

At the latest run ran last in a small field at Penn National on October 15 over 1207m, 8 len behind Blast Of Mischief carrying 55kg at $6.10. Before that came from midfield and won by 2.25 len at Monmouth Park on September 5 over 1207m defeating Cool Spite carrying 51.5kg at $5.90. Better than last start suggests.

Third-up today. Not raced for 41 days. First-up 5th of 7 at Timonium on September 5 over 1308m, 5 len behind Share Success carrying 55.5kg at $3.10. Second run from a spell won by 1.0 len at Delaware Park on September 25 over 1207m defeating Lady Catalina with 54.5kg at $1.80. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
