Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming

RICK'SWARMHEART (3) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1710m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. HEAD LAD (6) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 4 lengths, over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. SISYPHUS (5) proved too strong last start and scored by 2.75 lengths over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Has six wins here. Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. ASCENDANCE (1) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 1710m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.75 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Must be respected.

Recent form sound. Most recently came from midfield and won by 2.75 len at this track March 7 over 1710m defeating Ascendance with 56kg at $17.50. The race before that second last in a small field at this track on February 14 over 1710m, 6 len behind Rick'swarmheart with 56kg at $4.30. Great chance to win again.
