Charles Town Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance

MAGICAL SURPRISE (7) has been in great form with five placings in succession, most recently when beaten 4.5 lengths into second over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Likely improver with strong prospects. BOLD DESERT (2) has been racing in great heart with three top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1308m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. BOLD ROCK (4) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MUSICAL ENTOURAGE (1) comes here following a win over 1408m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Has solid form at this circuit with four wins and three minor placings from 11 starts. Capable of playing a big role.
