Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

BIG DILEMMA (2) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1710m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has the ability to figure prominently. GRAN ANDREWS (4) finished fifth, beaten 11 lengths, last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has a very good record here including 16 wins from 25 starts. Likely to feature. GAME KEEPER (1) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fifth over 1710m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ADMIT NOTHING (3) finished third at Laurel two runs back but was less effective last time over 1710m at Laurel (Dirt), finishing 18 lengths back in sixth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 7 at Laurel on February 12 over 1710m, 18 len behind States United with 56kg at $12.70. Before that 3rd in a small field at Laurel on December 28 over 1811m, 11 len behind Waldrip with 56kg at $32.90. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
