Charles Town Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance

MAGICAL SURPRISE (1) fought on for third last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BOLD DESERT (2) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Should go well again. SHARPASADIAMOND (4) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 1308m, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be competitive. CASTLE OF CORK (3) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 4.5 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and appeals as a solid top-three hope.
