Hawthorne Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
VERONICAFORTHEWIN (2) Resuming after a break. Was quite a handful for the competition when 3rd last time at Fair Grounds and gets a favourable barrier. Expect a solid run. WW BEST OF TIMES (6) First up from a spell. Lost ground in the run home when 6th last start around here. May see an upturn in form. Should muster plenty of early speed. Hard to overlook. D' ARGONAUT (4) First up after 13 weeks and strong effort to run into 2nd first up last preparation here. Can't knock. KEEN GAL (1) Didn't threaten when 9th last time at Fair Grounds but has minimal work to do from the barrier. Coming back in trip. Market watch advised and can run into the money.

Started $43.00 and advanced late into 4th last run at Turfway Park. Has not placed in 15 attempts this campaign. Does take a while to get into stride. Looks hopeful.

Was $18.00 and looked outclassed when 8th last start at Oaklawn Park. Should come to hand quickly. Armando Hernandez stable are on fire recently. Would be more keen on the chance of others.

First up after a break. Started $16.00 and folded up in the straight when 6th last start here. May see an upturn in form. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will be competitive.
