Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

THIS IS THE LIFE (5) showed good early dash before weakening to be beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 1308m at Timonium (Dirt) last time out. Better than the last run and will take running down. SUPER KICK (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 402m at Mountaineer Park, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SPEEDY SAMMY (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1308m at Timonium, beaten 5.5 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so he can make amends. FAR FROM A STAR (4) turned in a fine effort to score by 3 lengths at this track and distance last start in a nice progression on the first-up performance. Finds another suitable race and can play a major role again.
