Charles Town Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
BELLA MELA (2) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 4 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 905m. Should be in the finish. PARTY TIME FOR ME (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.25 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a break last start. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. NAVAL HOSPITAL (7) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Scored a good win at her final run last campaign at this track (Dirt) over 905m. Has a terrific record here with two wins and one placing from three starts. Worth plenty of thought. GIULIANA'S DREAM (3) saluted over 1106m at Finger Lakes (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on November 24. Comes here with definite top-three claims.

Second-up. First-up after two months came from midfield and won by 2.25 len at this track January 9 over 905m defeating Howler with 55.5kg at $4.30. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 3 len at this track January 18 2025 over 905m defeating Ghostly Anna with 54kg at $7.50. Sure to prove tough to beat in this sort of form. Improver with winning prospects.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on January 8 over 905m, 0.5 len behind Coal Country carrying 56kg at $2.70. The run before that 5th of 7 at this track on November 15 over 1408m, 3 len behind Heart's Compass carrying 55kg at $3.30. Close to a win. One of the better chances.
