Charles Town Race 2

Claiming

Stake: -

PAINT THE ALLEY (6) Finished well when winning last start at this track and showing improvement in recent outings. Has run into the placings all attempts this preparation. Should be in the finish. TRUST THE CLIMB (1) Looked outclassed when 7th last run at the track. Has the potential to improve sharply and stepping down to a lower level. Has plenty of early speed. Goes very close. LEGENDARY SKY (2) Weakened to finish 5th last time at this track. Likely to bounce back and drawn nicely. Moises Santaella and Ronney W Brown are an appealing combination. Can make a claim. NOT MY CIRCUS (4) Improved when 4th last start around here. Will be trying to topple them late. Can win.

Started $12.00 and didn't attack the line when 7th last run at the track. Has the potential to improve sharply and goes down in class. Drawn the rails. Can lift.

Odds of $9.50 and couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last time around here. Likely to bounce back and will try to take advantage of the stall. Serious contender.

Good run when placing 3rd beaten by 6L last time at the track and taking on a lower class of opponents. Looks like solid value.

Started at $43.00 and struggled with the pace when 8th last time around here but matched against a less competitive field. Likely to settle back in the field. Have to look elsewhere.
