Hawthorne Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
SHEZTHEFACTOR (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but with added fitness she is one of the chief contenders. BOURBON AMERICANA (5) ran below expectations last time at Fairgrounds (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 27 lengths starting at $6.30. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise. PLUME (1) is appearing for the first time. By Charlatan and hails from the L Rivelli stable. Expect a bold run. CLOUDY LASS (2) resumes from a spell of four months. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a second over 1106m at this track. Worth including.

Raced two times to date. At big odds at debut, second last of 9 at Fairgrounds on February 14 over 1207m, 20 len behind Goodall with 54.5kg at $25.50. Second-up second last of 8 at Fairgrounds Turf on March 15 over 1106m, 11 len behind One More Guitar carrying 54.5kg at $10.40. Doesn't pose too much of a threat today.
