Charles Town Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HAMMER (3) failed to live up to expectations over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. FROSTY THE GIANT (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Penn National (Dirt), finishing third and only half a length from the winner at the end of 1673m after being prominent at the turn. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. YULETIDE GALLOP (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. KATMANDU (2) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 1308m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at this track on October 1 over 1308m, 5.5 len behind Circle P carrying 55.5kg at $4.70. The race before that 3rd in a small field at this track on September 19 over 1408m, 2 len behind Ray Of Sunshine carrying 55.5kg at $6.10. Worth another chance.

At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Penn National on October 15 over 1673m, 2.25 len behind Freedom Maker with 56.5kg at $7.20. The run before that won by 0.5 len at this track on September 25 over 1710m defeating Conspiracy Fact with 56kg at $4.10. Racing okay but look elsewhere.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 55-day let-up. Last start won by a nose at Laurel Turf on September 11 over 1106m defeating Upsidedown Man with 56kg at $2.40. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Colonial Downs Turf on August 9 over 1106m, 1.0 len behind Mi Dinero with 55.5kg at $39.50. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.
