Charles Town Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
BLESS AMERICA (5) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1207m at Laurel, finishing 13 lengths from the winner. Likely to be in the finish. EMIRATES HONOR (7) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by one length over 1308m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins and two minor placings from nine runs. Leading player again. LIKEBELIVINGNMAGIC (4) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when eighth, beaten 20 lengths, over 1609m at Laurel (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CASE ACE (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Strips fitter and can play a big role.
