Charles Town Race 4

Starter Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $34,807

LOGSTRADAMUS (6) was comfortably accounted for when second last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. LORD OF CORK (4) was out of the money first-up but has since placed two on end and looks close to a win, the latest effort a third over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has the right credentials. SHARPASADIAMOND (3) had been in sparkling form winning three races on end before most recently finished third over 1408m at this track. This looks a winnable race. ROAD MINISTER (7) drifted back and never threatened when sixth last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
