Charles Town Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming

DOLCE VELOCE (4) reunites with Moises Santaella after scoring with ease over 905m at this track (Dirt) last time. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. FORGOTTEN GIFT (7) is in top form, most recently recording a win by half a length over 905m at this track (Dirt) to make it two in succession. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. SMALLTOWNSMOKESHOW (5) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths starting at $8.60. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HOT FUDGE WARRIOR (3) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 905m here last time. Can figure in the finish.
