Charles Town Race 4

Starter Allowance

Prize Money: $28,097

GRAN ANDREWS (7) scored by 2.25 lengths last time out over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Has a strong record this course, scoring at five of seven starts. Leading contender. PIT STOP MAN (6) has not appeared since he scored over 1106m at Belterra Park (Dirt) on April 26. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Mathew Binning. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. ROAD SLEW (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 7 lengths over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Will drift back but wind up late. Should be competitive. RAGTIME RICHES (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1408m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Better than recent efforts suggest.

Comments
At the latest run settled back and ran on when 4th of 8 at this track on June 7 over 1710m, 4 len behind Gran Andrews with 54.5kg at $19.20. Before that came from midfield and won by 4 len at this track May 16 over 1308m defeating Practical Sense with 55.5kg at $5. Looks outclassed.

Useful type. Comes off a 36 day let-up. Most recently 6th of 8 at this track on May 24 over 1408m, 6 len behind Ridiculous with 55.5kg at $7.80. The start before that second last in a small field at this track on April 27 over 1710m, in the wet; 7 len behind Gran Andrews with 54.5kg at $10.40. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run won by 2.25 len at this track June 7 over 1710m defeating Scotch No Rocks carrying 55.5kg at $1.40. The run before that second last in a small field at Thistledown on May 9 over 1609m, 8 len behind Sweeping Giant carrying 56kg at $1.70. Great chance to win again.
