Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

BARONG (7) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 11 lengths, over 1408m at Laurel. Has the right credentials. DEFIANT GIANT (5) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths starting at $8.20. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ESTRELLA FUGAZ (8) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths starting at $3.10. This doesn't look as hard so he is likely to play a big role. BID ON BLUE (6) improved sharply last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 1408m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
