Charles Town Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
GOLD FIBER (7) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1308m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HARDLY EVER BETTER (4) got home by 1.75 lengths last time out over 905m at this track (Dirt). Has four wins here. Winning rider J Stokes sticks. Best form puts him right in this. ESTRELLA FUGAZ (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when seventh in a 905m contest at this track two weeks ago. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to take this out. FIBER STRONG (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 905m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see him in contention.
