Charles Town Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Optional Claiming

BUDDY BUDDY (3) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Sits handy in the run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BIG BAD BRASS (7) turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. VALHALLA'S PALACE (2) was an impressive winner last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 4 lengths. Expected to feature. PINK DINGHY (1) was beaten 6 lengths into sixth in a 1308m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Arnaldo Bocachica gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Better than recent efforts suggest.
