Charles Town Race 4

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: $34,600

ROCKET APPEAL (2) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when fourth over 905m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after doing his best work late. Beautifully placed and is sure to bounce back to form. GOLDEN KEY (6) held on well to finish second last time out over 905m at this track (Dirt) after leading for much of the way. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. DIRECT THE SHOW (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. EVANESCO (1) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 905m at this track (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 1.3 lengths. Well placed and should be about the money.
