Charles Town Race 1 - West Virginia Triple Crown Nutrition Breeders' Classic S. Stakes
CRYSTAL VEIL (7) Led and controlled the pace to win by a margin of 5 1/4L last run at this track and drops back to a suitable grade. Showing consistent performance in races. Better hope. ON A PEDESTAL (6) Finished well when 3rd beaten by almost 8L last run at this venue and facing less formidable opponents. Can go through the gears. Going up in trip. Massive hope. GHOST BUSTA (5) Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 2nd last start at this venue and having second race start. Stepping up in distance. Racing in stronger company. Include in chances. FAR OUT WEST (4) Was strong late when 3rd last time around here and fitter for debut run. Jockey Moises Santaella is currently in strong form for this stable. Facing a rise in trip. Will be around the mark at odds.

Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd last run at this track and goes down in class. Good to see jockey Jose Montano is jumping on. Commands respect.

Made all when winning by 5 1/4L last run at the track and challenged by weaker competitors. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 starts and good career start. Should go close.
