Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

HEAD LAD (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 29 lengths when sixth over 1710m at this track five weeks ago. Has the ability to figure prominently. THEO'S THUNDER (6) finds it hard to win with three victories from 30 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1408m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. STRIVE FOR STRIDE (2) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1710m at this track (Dirt), beaten 14 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. STROLLINGINTHEWIND (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) over 1609m after being up on the pace until straightening. Best figures measure up nicely. Should be about the money.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 7 at Mountaineer Park on June 22 over 1609m, 6 len behind Tizawhitefacecat with 56kg at $12.70. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on June 5 over 1710m, 7 len behind Rhumjar with 56kg at $26.70. Can do a lot better than that last run.
