Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

MCHALE (3) last appeared when he finished seventh over 1308m at this track (Dirt) on December 13. Rates highly and should take some beating. D HOPPER (5) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark six runs back, the latest effort a second over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Sure to be in the finish. POPS HARPER (6) meets a moderate field and in the money four from six starts here at this course and distance. Juan Mauricio Nunez stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. One of the contenders. STINGRAY SHUFFLE (8) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1408m at this track (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back.

Having second run back today. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at this track February 12 over 905m defeating Mister Woodford carrying 57kg at $2.70. At only start last preparation sat on the pace when 2nd of 8 at Mountaineer Park on April 21 over 905m, 2.75 len behind Red Shaheen with 56kg at $4.10. Others offer greater appeal.
