Charles Town Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

WOKE UP IN LOVE (3) finished fourth two runs back at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths after being prominent at the turn over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. ABSOLUTE GRIT (5) is a eight-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Anthony Farrior stable. Hasn't raced since finishing seventh at Laurel (Turf) 11 months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but goes well fresh from a spell, filling a placing six times from nine runs. Leading prospect. BARON'S LEGACY (1) improved last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1408m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. DEFIANT GIANT (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 16 lengths into eighth. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
