Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

FIBER STRONG (6) won over 905m here on 17 Apr, then had excuses from last after settling 10th when 9th in a stronger 905m on 14 May; proven at the trip and class. HARDLY EVER BETTER (1) has been around the mark with 3rd over 905m on 15 May and 3rd on 17 Apr; draws the rail and holds consistent local form. BIG MO GEE (8) is a last‑start 905m winner here on 11 Apr and was 3rd prior; steps up from a similar claiming grade and stays at the trip. ESTRELLA FUGAZ (4) beat several of these in a 905m claiming on 13 Mar and can improve from a better gate after a wide draw last time. TUN TAVERN (7) was 2nd over 905m here on 3 Apr and has since placed at 1308m; capable if he brings that sprint run.
