Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

STRYDA (1) scored by 3.5 lengths over this distance at this track (Dirt) last time out. Form here strong boasting 14 wins from 28 starts. Sure to run well. FORGOTTEN GIFT (4) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 5 lengths away in third at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to go a couple better. RAN THE RED (2) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 0.3 lengths last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Jose Montano who has two wins when partnering stays on. Certainly one to consider. DELIGHTFUL DIXIE (5) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by 2 lengths over 905m at this track (Dirt). Sure to be thereabouts.
