Charles Town Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

MAXIMILLIONS DREAM (7) last appeared eight weeks ago over 905m at this track when he finished third. This is his first run for the Ronney W Brown stable. Looks set to run well for the new barn. HEAD OF THE CLASS (2) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 905m at this track (Dirt). Great chance to find the winners' enclosure. OPTIMISTIC NATE (5) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for second. Strong chance again. POPS HARPER (6) did a great job to score by 2.75 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 57-day let-up. Most recently 3rd in a small field at this track on February 25 over 905m, 4 len behind Cajun Joe with 57kg at $1.30. The start before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track February 11 over 905m defeating Go Go Prancer with 56kg at $5.20. Ideally placed to play a significant role.
