Charles Town Race 9 - Robert Hilton Memorial S. Stakes
RYAN'S RUN (5) Was strong to the line when winning by a margin of nearly 11L last run here and continuing to build a commendable record. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Expect to go close. TAB AT ZANZIBAR (7) Set the pace when winning by a margin of 1/2L last time at Saratoga and good career start. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 runs. Among the major players. LANGVAD (4) First run back from a break. Gave them all something to chase when winning by 3L last start at Gulfstream Park but challenged by a tougher grade. Could win with the right run. BRAVARO (2) Close to a win last run at Colonial Downs and has a positive barrier. Good to see jockey Paco Lopez is jumping on. Has a nice turn of foot. Can win this.

Finished well when 2nd last start at Ellis Park and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Been in the money multiple times this campaign. Should definitely be in your exotic bets.

Right in contention last run at Colonial Downs and drawn nicely. Paco Lopez is a pivotal booking but challenged by more formidable competitors. Always seems to find the line well. Can go close.

Was agonizingly close last start at Saratoga but matched against a stronger field. Jockey Tyler Gaffalione and trainer Saffie A Joseph Jr work well together. Should come to hand quickly. Modest hope.

Resuming after a break. Dictated the tempo to win by a margin of 3L last start at Gulfstream Park but facing formidable rivals. Good chance of taking this out.

Bolted in when winning by almost 11L last run at the track and consistently delivering strong performances. Ultra competitive this preparation with 3 wins from 3 runs. Winning potential.

Dictated terms in front to win by 1/2L last time at Saratoga and putting a tidy record together. On a winning streak the last 2 attempts but rising in grade. Hard to see finishing out of the placings.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at Ellis Park and solid career start. Should get going late. Competing in a more challenging grade. One for the exotics.
