Charles Town Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
DON'S LAST RIDE (8) returns from a spell of four months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished eighth at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1308m when first-up last time in work. Expecting a seamless transition. ROYCES RIDE (4) is a 20-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. RUM ROOM (5) is a three-year-old colt who is having his first run for the Anthony Farrior barn. Resumes after finishing ninth at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) at his last run eight months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Leading prospect. BABY BOBBY (7) was in the money two starts back at this track then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1308m at Timonium (Dirt). Has a strong finish. Suited here and can sneak into the finish.
