Hawthorne Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
VERONICAFORTHEWIN (2) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. D' ARGONAUT (4) returns after three months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Opened last prep with a minor placing at Hawthorne Turf over 1106m. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. KEEN GAL (1) finished 20 lengths adrift in ninth last time at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) in a disappointing performance. This doesn't look as hard so she is sure to be prominent. WW BEST OF TIMES (6) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three hope.
