Charles Town Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HEY BOOTS (2) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. EXCELLENT TIMING (9) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1207m at Laurel, finishing 7 lengths from the winner. Likely to feature. PURE PANIC (6) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 14 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. PRIORITY LANE (5) finished second at Mahoning Valley two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), finishing 7 lengths back in sixth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.

Entire back from a spell of 11 months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign second in a small field at Aqueduct February 22 over 1408m, 0.8 len behind Boss Three O Two carrying 56kg at $4.85. Previously first up; ninth of 12 at Turfway Park February 2 2024 over 1609m, 6 len behind Sugoi carrying 56kg at $13.58. Certainly one to consider.
