Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

ARIE FERRARI (2) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1308m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MUSICAL ENTOURAGE (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 12 lengths when sixth in a 1408m contest at this track six weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. GRANDPA JOE (1) was in the placings again last time when beaten 6 lengths into third over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Expected to run well again. RACING HOT LINE (7) was beaten 5 lengths into sixth in a 1408m contest at this track last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
