Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
HEAVEN'S GOT FIRE (8) was thereabouts last time out when second at Delaware Park (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Hard to beat. WECALLEMFUNCOUPONS (4) was an effortless winner last time over 1106m at Finger Lakes (Dirt), scoring by 4 lengths. Sure to go well again. NOBALLSTWOSTRIKES (6) did well when resuming over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last start, finishing third and beaten 8 lengths. Overall record sound when second-up, including a win and two minor placings, and will strip much fitter for this. Solid winning chance in this line up. MY HANDSOME MAN (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on October 1 when beaten 4 lengths into fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1308m. Can turn things around.
