Charles Town Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
NOLA BOSS (4) hit the frame two starts ago at Laurel but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 25 lengths over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt). This is a nice drop in grade so he can find the winners' list. SOBIESKI (1) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1408m at this circuit. Better than the last run and will take running down. VEHEMENTLY (10) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1308m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BEAR HUNT (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 905m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
