Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

EXCITABLE BOY (5) is returning from a spell of ten months. Finished sixth at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1207m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Anthony Farrior. Leading contender. BIG MO GEE (4) fought on for third last start over 1106m at Laurel (Dirt) when he gave away a big start on the bend, making it two minor placings in a row. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. CULMINATE (2) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the corner at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths starting at $5.80. Finds a nice race and can atone. TUN TAVERN (7) finished fourth last time out as favourite over 1308m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Major player.
