Charles Town Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
CAJUN JOE (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 905m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. COLT ROCK (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fourth and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 905m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BERNIE'S MITTS (3) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 905m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role. TRANSACTIONAL GUY (1) turned in another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in sixth over 905m at this track. Well placed to make amends.
