Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

SELF TAUGHT (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Laurel, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. MOTSKARI (8) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths as public elect over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. THEO'S THUNDER (7) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by one length over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Among the main hopes. PIQUANT (2) was beaten 8 lengths into fourth in a 1308m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed to turn things around. Something for the Multiples: WORKISLIFE (9)
