Charles Town Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

WHITE SERIES (3) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over the same trip. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. FORMAL AFFAIR (1) lines up on the back of a 2.75 lengths fifth over 1710m at this track. Is very effective at this distance with two wins from 12 runs. Well placed and should be tough to beat. RHUMJAR (4) sat on the pace last time and fought on well when 0.1 lengths away in second over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Should be in the finish again. HEAD LAD (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.3 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. Nicely placed to score once again.
