Charles Town Race 7

Henry Mercer Memorial S. Stakes

Prize Money: $104,167

CALL ME MICKY J. (2) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 36 lengths behind Popcorn over 1710m at Listed level at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf). Will drift back but wind up late. Will be tough to hold out. JACK CARSON (3) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 905m at this track (Dirt) eight weeks ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. CALVIN'S RUN (1) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 905m at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago. Likely improver with bright prospects again. PEDRO'S FANCY MAN (7) accounted for a maiden field over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last start, finishing 10 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Sunday Jr Diaz was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run.

Most recently ran last of 7 in stakes class at Colonial Downs Turf at Colonial Downs Turf on September 7 over 1710m, 36 len behind Popcorn with 54kg at $29.40. The run before that ran last of 8 in Listed grade at Colonial Downs at Colonial Downs on August 2 over 1106m, 15 len behind I Feel Lucky with 54.5kg at $5.60. Could easily blow them away in the dying stages.
