Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
CHEROKEE CASTLE (1) Picked up late ground when 3rd last time at this venue and has minimal work to do from the alley. Change in trainer and showing improvement in recent outings. Can take this out. LEMORIAN (3) Failed to finish at Mahoning Valley and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Has early speed and positions nicely. Wesley Ho rates highly aboard. Looks promising in this race. DOLCE VELOCE (5) Led and controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 4 1/2L last start at this venue. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 starts. Must respect in this event.
