Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
CITY OF BLING (1) is a five-start maiden who finished second over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time out after being in contention on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. SCAR NOSE (6) has been in the money 11 times including first-up last start on November 4 when third over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Goes well here with 11 top-three finishes to his credit. Likely to be in the finish. OJIN (7) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1308m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AIN'T DERE NO MO (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when 12 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Well placed to make amends.

Second-up. First-up after three months 3rd in a small field at this track on November 4 over 1710m, 4 len behind Honor The Bull carrying 55kg at $5.40. Previously second-up ran second last of 8 at this track on April 19 2025 over 1408m, 30 len behind Head Lad carrying 56kg at $80.30. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
