Charles Town Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
UNCLE CHINITO (6) hasn't raced since finishing fifth over 905m at this track (Dirt) on March 29 and has since switched stables. Good fresh performer with a win and one minor placings from three runs. Sure to be prominent. TALKIN PHAROAH (7) finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out at Penn National (Dirt) over 1207m. Has never been out of the money in three starts at this trip, including two wins. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will play a major role. BILLY JACK (3) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. HEY BOOTS (2) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Boasts an unbeaten first-up record from two runs. Has found the right race and is worth including.
