Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
GURNEY HALLECK (5) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1408m at Laurel last start. Change of rider to Arnaldo Bocachica who has never been out of the money in four rides, including a win. Expecting a bold showing. IHAVEANAPPFORTHAT (6) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to just miss out over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt). Expected to be doing best work at the finish. MUSICAL STANDARD (4) has not raced since he scored over 1308m at this track on October 16. Best figures have him right in the mix. RED DAWN COMING (1) got off the mark over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by 3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders.
