Okay, so I checked TVG this morning and there were no scratches for the 8th Race tonight at Charles Town. It's an Allowance race for fillies and mares 3YO+ for non winners of 2 or which have broken their maiden at Charles Town or for a claiming price. The purse is $26,000 and they are going 41/2 furlongs in this sprint.
The value play is #3 American Spice ML 15/1. She is going to be making her second start at CT having racing a ton down at Calder and Tampa, as a 3YO. The key here is the trainer switch to Comi, who hits 19% on 2nd off a layoff, and has an outstanding record with dirt sprints. She has shown flashes of speed in the past, likes to get out front, and with this short distance can wire it. Comi keeps Almodovar on board where they hit 25% of the time. Her last one was a rough trip with the bump and going 3 wide. If she can get out quick she has as good a chance as anyone to win it, at 15/1 she is a good value in this field
