Charles Town Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming

TAP IN FORMATION (6) last appeared eight weeks ago over 1106m at Parx when he finished second. This is his first run for the Anthony Farrior stable. Well-placed and sure to feature. TOUR GUIDE (9) was impressive last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 3.5 lengths. Goes well at this journey with two wins and two placings from five starts and shapes as a key contender. ABSOLUTE GRIT (3) boxed on fairly last time over 1106m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt), finishing third and not too far from the winner. In the placings each try over this longer journey and rates a winning chance. DANCE FOR GREEN (2) was comfortably accounted for when eighth last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 14 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to figure in the finish.
