Charles Town Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming

HEAD LAD (3) scored by 0.8 lengths last start over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this course and distance, including four wins and a placing. Expected to measure up. SISYPHUS (2) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish seventh over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after he had travelled in a rearwards position. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RICK'SWARMHEART (5) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. Has never missed the frame here at this journey in five starts, including two wins. One of the main contenders. ARCADIAN (1) disappointed at his last run ten weeks ago when fifth at this track (Dirt), that effort following back-to-back wins. Bold showing expected.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 42-day let-up. At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at this track January 3 over 1710m defeating Centavo carrying 54kg at $3.80. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at this track on December 5 over 1710m, 0.8 len behind Ascendance with 55kg at $4. Great chance to win again.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at this track on January 16 over 1710m, 7 len behind Omar Comin with 55.5kg at $7.20. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on January 7 over 1408m, 5 len behind Sisyphus with 55.5kg at $8. Only has a small field to contend with and looks hard to beat.
