Charles Town Race 1

Maiden Special Weight

Stake: $45,075

SHARP STYLE (4) is a 12-start maiden who was in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second at the latest appearance over 1609m at Penn National (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Will give a great sight. RAMSEY (5) is still a maiden after 13 runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 1408m at this track (Dirt). This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. RUN ROCKY RUN (3) was a placegetter on dirt over 1308m at this track two back but missed the frame on turf over 1609m at Penn National last time. Worth following up back on dirt. BLOOD BROTHER (6) finished 17 lengths away in seventh at his last appearance over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on June 16. Worth including in this suitable contest.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 10 at Penn National on June 12 over 1609m, 5 len behind Celestial Joy with 56.5kg at $13. The race before that 2nd in a small field at this track on May 25 over 1308m, 1.75 len behind Sam Wheat carrying 56kg at $5. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
