Hawthorne Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
VERONICAFORTHEWIN (5) sets the standard after a 2nd at Hawthorne over 1106m last start, beaten 2.3L after leading early, with prior Fair Grounds thirds at 1207m. WW BEST OF TIMES (1) has local experience and earlier Hawthorne placings at 1509m and 1609m, though his latest run was 6th over 1106m. CULTURE SHOCK (4) wasn’t far off mid-pack in a Hawthorne Maiden Special Weight over 1106m two back and can be competitive dropping into this grade. Debuters STYLISH GIRL (2) and WAR TORN GODDESS (6) add intrigue but have no exposed form. Leading chances: Veronicaforthewin (5), Ww Best Of Times (1), Culture Shock (4).
