Aqueduct Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
BIG HAT WILLIE (4) Was rock solid when winning by a margin of 5L last start at the track but challenged by more formidable competitors. Has won 3 from 6 starts this campaign. Should be right in the finish. TREATY OBLIGATION (5) Finished well when winning last run at this track but up against a more competitive field. Has to be included. TUSKEGEE AIRMEN (6) Came on strongly when 2nd beaten by 5 1/4L last time at this venue but up in grade. Not out of this. TWENTY FOUR MAMBA (2) Produced an eye catching run when 3rd last run here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Facing formidable opponents. Solid place bet prospects.

At 15/1 couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last run at the track but gets a favourable stall. Facing stiffer opposition. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by just short of 7L last run at this track and can find a nice position from the draw. Respect the betting.

Started at 13/1 and struggled with the pace when 9th last time at Oaklawn Park but competing at a lower level of competition. Expected to be flashing home. Very unlikely to shake these.

Kicked clear when winning by 5L last start at this track but competing in a higher grade. Jaime Rodriguez is an advantage. Tracking very well this preparation. Should give plenty of sight.

Rocketed home when winning last run at the track but matched against tougher rivals. Rates as one of the key chances.
