Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

MELANCIA (4) wasn't far away in her two starts prior to sub-par sixth last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and can bounce back. AMORICA (2) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing second, beaten 2.75 lengths, over today's trip at this track (Dirt). Ready to go one better. SLANDEROUS (3) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. IMPETUS ECHO (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 9 lengths away in fifth over 1308m at this track. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
