Charles Town Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
DON TEQUILAS (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1710m at this track (Dirt). That continued the good form this campaign, with four wins from 10 runs. Leading player again. GAME KEEPER (7) settled well back and failed to threaten in the straight last start when fourth, beaten 8 lengths, over this course and distance. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. CORONATION TIME (2) was far from disgraced after being prominent at the turn to finish 2.5 lengths away in second last start over 1408m at this track. That followed a first-up win at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. STRAVA (6) is having his first run since winning by 1.5 lengths four weeks ago over 1408m at this track. Has transferred to the Frederick Clatterbuck stable over the break. Sure to make his presence felt.
