Charles Town Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

BIG DILEMMA (6) was a most impressive winner last time over 1710m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 3 lengths. Form at this track is solid. Right in this. RIVALRY (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Penn National, beaten 7 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DEFIANT GIANT (8) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Leading contender. ICETECA (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1710m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
