Delaware Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming

BIG HAT WILLIE (6) lines up for the first time since May 18. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1106m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Has switched to the Rob Atras stable. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. HOWGREATISNATE (2) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.1 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Has the talent to score again. TAKE A HINT (8) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1106m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. PETINGAS TWIN (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after racing in the leading division. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
