Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
JESTER'S SONG (6) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1408m at this track. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is sure to be right there at the finish. LINE ASTRAY (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1710m at this track, beaten 14 lengths into sixth. This is a nice drop in grade so he is set to turn things around. LAWYER UP RILEY (1) raced below his best last time when seventh over 1710m at this track (Dirt), beaten 27 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back. MON GATEAU (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Strips fitter and can improve.
