Charles Town Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

OUTDOOR CAT (2) last appeared when he finished second over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt) on May 14. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SOLOMONS GOLD (10) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fourth over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so a top-three finish is on the cards. FLAG OFFICER (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1710m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ABSOLUTE GRIT (8) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 13 lengths into fourth. Capable of featuring prominently. Something for the Multiples: JESTER'S SONG (7)

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at this track on August 7 over 1408m, 11 len behind Williston Warrior carrying 56kg at $4.40. The race before that 3rd of 8 at this track on July 18 over 1308m, 5 len behind Nola Boss with 56kg at $33.90. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.
