Charles Town Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
CORONATION TIME (4) has not appeared since he finished third over 1308m at this track (Dirt) on October 25. Looks a winning chance. RIVALRY (5) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing sixth over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Among the leading chances. DEFIANT GIANT (6) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1710m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. MACRON (10) was safely held when resuming last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Don't underestimate.

Second run back. Comes off a 37-day let-up. First-up after six months ran last of 7 at this track on January 14 over 905m, 11 len behind Caribbean Pleasure with 56kg at $57.20. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Laurel on May 31 over 1207m, 20 len behind Pit Stop Man carrying 54kg at $25.50. Unlikely to threaten.
