Free Charles Town Picks & Predictions

Shea D World opens as the 9/5 morning line favorite, suggesting the public sees a very live contender, but our TrackWiz rating of 79.52 puts her a step below Palm Island. With an 18% career win rate and competitive speed figures of 52, she's versatile enough in this short sprint to hit the board even if she can't overhaul the top pick. Angel Cruz is a capable handler in these claiming events at Charles Town.

Win No Joke at 10/1 is the value inclusion in your exotics here. A TrackWiz rating of 60.58 is respectable in this field, and while the 8% career win rate is modest, the horse has enough tactical speed (avg 53) to be in the mix through the turn at 4 1/2 furlongs. Trainer Somraj Singh has a live one at a big price — worth a small piece underneath.

Solomons Gold is the standout value in the place spot, carrying a 75.10 TrackWiz rating and a 25% career win rate — the second-best win percentage among horses we're using in this race. Jeiron Barbosa, who steered our Race 1 top pick, climbs on here for Anthony Farrior, and that trainer-jockey combo has already shown up in our analysis today. At 7/2, there's a fair price if the public stays on Bigtonten.

Zio Lorenzo at 15/1 is a legitimate show-spot flier in this race. A TrackWiz rating of 64.66 is the third-best in the field, which is notably higher than the morning line suggests. Fredy Peltroche gets the mount for trainer Vanessa Peltroche — a family barn that tends to know when their horse is ready. At a price, toss this one underneath in your exactas and trifectas.

Princess Blame opens at 6/1 with an 82.71 TrackWiz rating — the second-best figure in the field — and Moises Santaella is a solid pick-up for trainer Ronney W. Brown at 7 furlongs. With a 20% career win rate and strong underlying numbers, this filly profiles as a closing threat who can benefit from pace up front from the chalk horses. Good place and exotics inclusion at a realistic price.

Edy's Flame is the morning line favorite at 8/5 and lands in the show spot for us, which tells you how competitive this field really is. A 45% career win rate is eye-catching, and the 78.94 TrackWiz rating is legitimate — trainer Anthony Farrior clearly has two live ones in here. Even if Edy's Flame gets beat by stablemate Just Do Believe, a board finish at 8/5 is a near certainty you can lean on in multi-race wagers.
