Charles Town Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance

HOPE'S ALIVE (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Penn National. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1673m at Parx, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Will enjoy a drop in class so he will prove hard to beat. BIG JOE B (2) turned things around last start and got the job done by 2 lengths when he worked home in great style over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. MAGIC MOVER (1) finished fifth last time out over 1710m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Has a win and three placings at this journey from seven starts. Should run very well. DIRECT APPEAL (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
