Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

BOX OFFICE (4) was safely held when third last time out over 1710m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Likely improver with strong prospects. COOL LESTER SMOOTH (2) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 1710m, finishing eighth and beaten 32 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. MAX FORWARD SPEED (3) last appeared a month ago over 1308m at Parx when he refused to race. This is his first run for the Brian L Boyce stable. Well-placed and is among the chances. ALIGN (7) did a great job to score by 8 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Nicely placed to take this out.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently didn't finish the race at Parx December 29 over 1308m. The start before that ran last of 7 at Parx on October 29 over 1207m, 11 len behind One Last Kiss with 56.5kg at $2.70. Capable of more – worth another chance.
