Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

WISHFUL THOUGHTS (4) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fifth over 905m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Expecting a bold showing. MONKEY WRENCH (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths starting at $7.80. Finds a nice race and can make amends. TUP'S TO TAKE (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 905m. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. SHUFFLE (6) was beaten 5 lengths into fifth in a 905m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed to bounce back.
