Hawthorne Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
ENGAGEMENT (4) sets the standard after two Hawthorne 1106m thirds this prep, latest 3rd of 5 by 1.3L in Maiden Claiming 56 on 10 May when on-speed throughout at 54kg. WW BEST OF TIMES (3) is fit fourth-up and backs up from 28 May here when 4th of 7 over 1006m in a Maiden Special Weight 62, and was only 3.6L off them in a similar Claiming two starts back. MACHA LATTE (2) resumes; his lone run was 5th of 10 at Laurel Park over 1106m in Maiden Claiming 68 from a wide barrier and now draws inside with blinkers on. TIZSWIFTYSMUSIC (1) returns after 6 months and drops 202m; both prior runs were MSW at Horseshoe Indianapolis, so this class relief could help from barrier 1.

Returns first up after two starts last season, both 1207m Maiden Special Weight at Horseshoe Indianapolis, finishing 7th each time. Latest was on 12 Nov over 1207m when $51, beaten 19.8L after settling back; draws barrier 1 here with 56.5kg and cuts back slightly in trip. Needs to show sharp improvement second preparation.

Fourth-up and back at Hawthorne where he owns a consistent (11:0-2-1) record. Led throughout before boxing on for 4th/7 (3.6L) in a 1006m Maiden Claiming 56 here on 17 May, then held 4th/7 (8.3L) in a 1006m Maiden Special Weight 62 on 28 May. Blinkers go on and draws barrier 3; capable of giving a sight at this trip.

Back-to-back thirds at Hawthorne in Maiden Claiming company, latest on 10 May over 1106m when prominent throughout before finishing 1.3L behind Daisy Mae Attack. Draws barrier 4 again and adds blinkers, with a slight rise to 54.5kg from 54kg. Consistent local placings (2-from-2 at the track) suggest she can be competitive again.

Resumes after 7 months and drops 5.7kg to 48.3kg with the apprentice’s claim from barrier 5. Her two starts were at 1006–1106m, including a 9th of 9 at Hawthorne (1106m, Maiden Claiming 63) when $14, beaten 16.3L by Great Owl. Light weight and a soft draw give her a chance to improve first up.

Lightly weighted at 54.5kg and drawn in barrier 6, she gets a practical setup. Frank Reyes rides for Joel Berndt, and the filly profile suggests there’s upside to come.
