Charles Town Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
HIGH STRIKE (3) is returning from a spell of four months. Finished fifth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1308m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Kent Knudsen. Plenty to like about his prospects. PROBALE TEN (6) knuckled down strongly to get within 0.8 lengths of the winner in second last start over 1006m at Mountaineer Park when coming back from a spell. Can measure up. LARZ (2) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 10 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. CAJUN JOE (5) didn't do a bad job when third last start over 905m at this track. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Worth plenty of thought.
