Charles Town Race 1

Claiming

Stake: $17,703

STRIVE FOR STRIDE (4) hasn't been far away since a maiden win three runs back, the latest effort a third over 1308m at this track (Dirt) on June 13. Great chance to break through. CALLISTO'S BRIGADE (2) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expected to be in the finish. CALYPSO JOHN (7) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 905m at this track (Dirt). The addition of blinkers should see a bold run. ASTRAYAL (1) was beaten 4 lengths into fifth in a 905m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
