Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
JESTER'S SONG (8) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1710m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Will enjoy a drop in class so he can play a big role. DANCE FOR GREEN (6) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at Delaware Park (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and three minor placings from five outings. Expected to be in the finish. SWEET SODDY J (4) scored two back at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) but was below his best last time when eighth over 905m at this track (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. ABUELO PAPS (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1408m at this track. Likely improver so plenty to like about his chances.
