Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

CAPTIVATED DRAMA (3) was in the money over this distance two back then stepped out over more ground last time and struggled when fourth at this track (Dirt). Well-placed and can bounce back. NIGHT PREACHER (2) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1106m at Laurel. Should be hard to stop. TALKIN PHAROAH (4) missed the placings last time out over this distance at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.75 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at six of 10 starts. Should be competitive. RESTLESS (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.1 lengths at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
