Charles Town Race 3

Starter Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $34,807

TALKIN PHAROAH (6) has seven wins and three minor placings from 11 races this preparation. Found one better last start at this track (Dirt) over 905m after being handy all the way. Genuine type with bright prospects. SUMMERSTATEOFMIND (1) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent effort a third at this track (Dirt) over 905m when he was beaten a neck. Reunites with Angel Cruz who has two wins from five rides. Bold showing expected. COLD AS HELL (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 13 lengths away in seventh over 1308m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. HEAD OF THE CLASS (3) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth in a 905m contest at this track nine days ago. Well placed to make amends.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th in a small field at this track on February 4 over 905m, 4.5 len behind Hey Boots carrying 53kg at $6.80. The run before that 4th of 7 at this track on January 23 over 905m, 1.1 len behind Captivated Drama with 54kg at $4.90. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Last start favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win at this track January 14 over 905m defeating Optimistic Nate carrying 56kg at $2.70. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on November 26 over 905m, 2.25 len behind Hey Boots with 55.5kg at $9.70. Would rather see in something easier.
