Charles Town Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming

YANKEE DOODLE KID (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. NO LOVE FOR JUBA (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1408m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. JUBA'S NOTION (6) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.3 lengths over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has eight wins here. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. DEFIANT GIANT (4) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten one length, over 1408m at this track. Top strike rate at the journey with two wins and two placings from four starts and deserves respect.
