Hawthorne Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
STORM BACK (5) is a 11-start maiden who returned last time and finished eighth at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1609m, beaten 14 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement and is a great chance to break through. STORMY ATTACK (3) was last at the races when he finished fifth over 1106m at Hawthorne Turf (Turf) on November 2. Expect him to play a major role. GRAY MIKE (4) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track six months ago. One of the contenders. BONIFIED CRAZY (1) finished 23 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 1673m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) on March 8. Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
