Charles Town Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance

INDY MAGIC (7) is having his first run since November 16. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 1408m at Keeneland at the start of last prep. Looks set to run well. KATMANDU (2) was comfortably accounted for when second last time out over 1710m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Likely improver with strong prospects. DIRECT APPEAL (5) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BIG JOE B (3) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1710m at this track, beaten 8 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 7 at this track on February 5 over 1710m, 8 len behind Magic Mover carrying 57kg at $6.60. The run before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 2 len at this track January 10 over 1710m defeating Bad Lineage with 55.5kg at $3.60. Easily accounted for last start but is capable of better.
