Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
TALKLESSWORKMORE (4) turned things around last start and scored by 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the turn over 1408m at Laurel (Dirt). Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to cope. DEADPAN (3) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, beaten 10 lengths into fourth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SPURS UP (6) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1308m at this track (Dirt) eight weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths. Likely to be in the finish again. STRAVA (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1710m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run eased back early on 4th in a small field at this track on February 26 over 1710m, 10 len behind General Issue with 57kg at $4.90. The start before that won by 5.5 len at Mahoning Valley February 4 over 1673m defeating The Doorman carrying 56kg at $5.60. Can atone.
