Charles Town Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
HEAVEN'S GOT FIRE (5) displayed plenty of early toe over 905m at this track (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by one length. Should be prominent again from the low draw. In a suitable race and can play a major role. HARDLY EVER BETTER (2) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 5 lengths away in second over 905m at this track (Dirt) when he was in the firing line all the way. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. SASSY LAD (7) fought on for third last start over 905m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. SHEA D WORLD (11) was beaten 27 lengths into fifth at the second run back from a break over 1408m at Gulfstream Park three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect. Something for the Multiples: CAJUN JOE (8)
