Charles Town Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

BUCKIN' DREAMER (2) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 905m at this track (Dirt). Has a terrific record here with four wins and two minor placings from six starts. Right in this. TURBULENT FORCE (9) finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 905m at this track when fresh from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. Sure to run well. RAVIN'S TOWN (7) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 7 lengths when seventh over 905m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Has the class to figure prominently. IMPERIAL KING (8) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 905m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

At the latest run 5th of 7 at this track on August 6 over 1710m, 7 len behind Defiant Giant with 56kg at $10.60. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on July 23 over 1710m, 0.3 len behind Head Lad with 56kg at $15.70. Mediocre effort last time out but this suits.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 41-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 7 at this track on July 10 over 905m, 4.5 len behind On The Come Up with 57kg at $2.70. Before that ran on from midfield and won by 4 len at this track on June 5 over 905m defeating Hopping Henry carrying 56kg at $5.30. Plenty to like about his prospects.
