Charles Town Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
NOLA BOSS (2) improved last start to finish third over 1308m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TAP IN FORMATION (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when sixth, beaten 7 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 905m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. ABSOLUTE GRIT (7) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing sixth last time out over 1408m at this track. Has a fine record here with two wins from five starts. One of the contenders. GOLD FIBER (3) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 905m. Deserves another chance.
