Charles Town Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Allowance

HEY BOOTS (4) Did well when 2nd last start here and suited at this trip in the past. Will be trying to topple them late. Going well this preparation. Strong hope. ELLIE'S BOYFRIEND (2) Got the upper hand late when winning last time here and drawn nicely. Has plenty of early speed. Has been a model of consistency this prep. Can win this. OPTIMISTIC NATE (5) Not up to scratch when 8th last start around here and coming back in trip. Coming to a new trainer. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Could go well. JOSHY JAK (6) Looked outclassed when 7th last start at this venue. Should bounce back but down in distance. Racing for a new trainer. Has early speed and positions nicely. One at a bit of odds.
