Charles Town Race 5

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: $40,376

SOCIAL CHIC (2) started at $8 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including seven wins. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. NO LOVE FOR JUBA (1) won at this track and distance at his last outing 11 weeks ago. Has found the right race. YANKEE DOODLE KID (6) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has racked up wins at his last four runs, the latest scoring over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at the journey and worth including. JUBA'S NOTION (4) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 905m at this track (Dirt), finishing 5 lengths back in sixth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
